[EURO-Discuss] [Fwd: Clarifications Regarding Staff Summary-Analysis of Stakeholder Group Charter Public Forum]

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Dear All:

As a couple of queries have come in from Bill and Adam with respect to 
the staff summary of the NCSG public comment period, Rob has sent along 
the below.

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: 	Clarifications Regarding Staff Summary-Analysis of Stakeholder 
Group Charter Public Forum
Date: 	Fri, 7 Aug 2009 08:50:47 -0700
From: 	Robert Hoggarth <robert.hoggarth at icann.org>

Dear Nick:

I understand that there have been some recent discussion within the 
At-Large community regarding the Staff Summary/Analysis (S/A) of the 
submissions in the GNSO Stakeholder Group Charter Forum that closed on 
24 July.- http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#stakeholder - and 
particularly the reference the S/A document makes to the comments 
submitted by ALAC Chair Cheryl Langdon-Orr.

As the staff person responsible for that document, I wanted to make sure 
that I cleared up any potential confusion in the attribution assigned to 
Cheryl's submission in the S/A.  At the beginning of every S/A document 
we clearly include the caution to the reader that:

    "This document is intended to broadly and comprehensively summarize
    the comments of the various contributors to this forum but not to
    address every specific argument or position stated by any or all
    contributors.  The Staff recommends that readers interested in
    specific aspects of any of the summarized comments or the full
    statements of others refer directly to the originally posted
    contributions."  


Further, with respect to the specific comments submitted by Cheryl, I 
reproduced verbatim the disclaimer that she provided at the top of her 
submission.  Footnote one at the beginning of the S/A document reads:

    "[1] The Submission by Cheryl Langdon-Orr specifically noted the
    following disclaimer, 'This comment is intended to ensure that the
    Board Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) is aware of and takes
    into account in this current public comment period the previous
    activities, views and opinions, including Advice to the Board, and
    ratified Statements of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) and
    the At-Large Community with specific reference to the development of
    the new structure of the GNSO, its Council and the Stakeholder Group
    model. This is not a formal or ratified statement or comment per se
    but rather a synopsis of those previously provided in various fora
    to date.' For identification purposes this document uses the 'ALAC'
    initials to refer to the submission."


If for any reason, Cheryl would like to clarify her comments or if she 
thinks the initials I used to identify her comments were inappropriate, 
please have her send me an email at robert.hoggarth at icann.org and I will 
work with the web-admin and tech-support teams to re-open the Forum 
record to insert any clarifications she might want to make to her 
submission.

Besr,

Rob Hoggarth
