Jonathan and All,

Please find attached a document regarding the GNSO Metrics & Reporting WG.  As you may recall, we have an issue with limited volunteers within the GNSO for this effort, which is not considered sufficiently representative.  At the GNSO Council meeting in Durban, the staff was tasked (Action Item #7) with developing a possible alternative approach to the Uniformity of Reporting Final Issue Report recommendations approved in Beijing.  This MetRep document is intended to provide a possible way forward for the GNSO Council to consider.

Item 6: DISCUSSION – Metrics and Reporting WG (10 mins)

Despite the unanimous support for this resolution, only six volunteers (3 GNSO, 3 ALAC) have signed up for this effort to date, which is not considered sufficiently representative to kick off the DT. Apart from renewing the call for volunteers or delaying this effort, the GNSO Council could consider, as this is a non-PDP WG, to explore an alternative approach to addressing this issue while still respecting the multi-stakeholder approach, but not necessarily requiring the formation of a DT or WG. 

Please let me know if you require additional information or if you have any questions.

Thank you.  B
