I think Avri has, as usual, put forward a very sensible proposal here. There is no reason for the current group to continue its work if it is no longer urgent, and a full PDP is going to tackle the issue.

The documentation that came out with the recommendations was, I understand, incomplete.  I think it would be a pity to waste all those volunteer hours, especially those that could have been lucrative billable hours, without producing a coherent synthesis that shows all sides of the work the group did.

Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of chatter in various groups about the dismantling of our drafting team for a variety of reasons ranging from the practical (“Lets wait until the PDP to restructure a group like this”) to the cynical (“The Board rejected all of the Drafting Teams recommendations and there Is nothing left for the group to do”).  Although the Drafting Team understands that the Board only dealt with the Top Level Recommendations and that the GAC Proposal to which we were responding has recommendations at the second level, there is still a lot of negative chatter out there calling for this group to be abandoned.

Before that happens, however, I would like to know your thoughts on whether this Drafting Team should cease it operations.  From my own personal perspective (and not necessarily my SG), I believe that although we voted in favor of commencing  PDP on issues that are related to the IOC-RC proposals, the GNSO owes a response to the GAC on the GAC’s September 2011 proposal (the majority of which addresses proposed second level protections).  That proposal is now 8 months old and whether this Drafting Team helps with crafting that answer or not, the GNSO must provide a well-thought out and reasoned response.  I believe it would not be wise to ignore the proposal or to tell the GAC that we are going to wait for the issue report to be drafted and finalized by October and then decide whether to commence a PDP and then take a year or longer to provide the GNSO Council response (which could be 2-3 years after the initial proposal).
