Re: [gnso-policyimpl-wg] UPDATED: Attendance and Recording Policy and Implementation WG meeting - 25th September 2013

[marie-laure Lemineur <mllemineur@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I would like to draw to your attention that on the wiki of the ATRT2, we
can find a draft of the GNSO evaluation study conducted by an external
expert. The purpose of this assignment has been  to assess the
effectiveness of ICANN Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Policy
Development Process (PDP) and whether the current GNSO PDP process
satisfies the needs of the multistakeholder model and Internet users.

It looks like there might be plenty of information in it, that could be
very relevant to the work we are doing in this WG.

Best regards,

Marie-laure
