[ga] Review Task Force List is now publicly archived


I wish to thank the Secretariat for making public the Review Task Force
mailing list:
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/nc-review/Arc01/

This "first" message was posted to it two days ago by Philip Sheppard:


1. Working groups. Lead: Philip
.

- "To turn the WG D procedures into a sharper set of guidelines".  
I posted this to the virtual site early July and have had no comment yet.
Please look at it and either tell me OK or suggest a change. I will construe
silence as consent. Deadline 15 August. ACTION ALL PLEASE.


2. Web-based fora as alternatives to lists. Lead Peter.  We are evaluating a
site. Comments later.

3. GA Chair  Lead Philip

I propose that the present system for selecting the GA chair (GA nominations,
10 endorsements, approval by the NC should be kept and added to the NC rules
of procedure.

I have not heard any objection to this. Roberto - please give your view.
Deadline August 15. ACTION all.


4. Constituency formation / individuals constituency Lead Axel
I propose we FIRST draft criteria for ANY new constituency including need,
uniqueness, potential contribution and representativeness.
Axel - please advise progress and post to the virtual workroom. Deadline
August 15.


5. Language diversity/ translation of DNSO papers Lead Milton
To be practical here (from the cost perspective) I believe we should look at
use of web based auto translators. Has an evaluation been done of these by a
university language school ? Surely yes? Milton - please advise progress
and/or post a document to the virtual workroom. Deadline August 15.


6. Consensus.  Lead Milton
Recommend to the NC a practical definition of consensus for the purposes of
NC consultation activities.
Milton had earlier thoughts on this suggesting that we should drop the word
consensus and just suggest certain majority or super majority rules for DNSO
groups. This seems like a good way forward. Milton - please advise progress
or post to the virtual workroom. Deadline Aug 15.
