[ALAC] [ccnso-idnpdpwg1] Agenda today's call

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Bart Boswinkel,

I am sending this note AFTER the meeting, but this was intended to be raised
as a suggestion under "any other business".

As an introductory statement to the ALAC comments on the 3rd Revison of the
Draft Implementation Plan http://bit.ly/idnmeeting the following was stated:

"With the view to expeditiously complete the IDN related tasks, it is
proposed that ICANN
incorporates in its agenda for the Seoul meeting a full day of meetings to
focus on IDNs,
scheduled as inter‐constituency meetings attended by invited experts, staff
and finance
committees to resolve all pending issues related to IDN Policy and pave the
way for
implementation."

This has also been mentioned at an ALAC meeting, though not formally
discussed nor voted upon as an ALAC suggestion.

The suggestion is to have inter-constituency meetings during Seoul where
ccNSO, GNSO and its commercial and non-commercial constituencies, GAC, ALAC,
SSAC as also Board Representatives, Staff designated for IDNs, finance and
administration committees, IETF, external advisory / support groups, IDN
user groups otherwise not part of the ICANN organization and invited experts
could all gather together in one room on a suitable day during the Seoul
Meeting to discuss all pending issues related to IDN implementation. The
purpose is to bring together view points from the different constituencies /
support organizations / experts to reconcile the most important issues that
could consume time if discussed in different rooms.

The inter-constituency meetings could be visualized as happening in the main
room on a certain day (or half - a - day) which is relatively a light day
for most constituencies, who could also be free to concurrently have their
sessions on any other topic that may require to be discussed within their
constituencies, but after assigning enough responsible participants to the
proposed inter-constituency meetings.

This could also be an opportunity for various IDN working groups to report
on their work for consolidation.

Thank you
Sivasubramanian Muthusamy
ALAC IDN Liaison.
