> The policies that apply to generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are developed
> through the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) policy development
> process, which often represents several months of work, consideration, and
> discussion in the stakeholder community. When a new policy completes that
> process and is approved by the ICANN Board of Directors, the ICANN staff
> then puts those policy recommendations into practice – what is referred to
> as "policy implementation."
>
> After consulting with the community and the Policy/Implementation Non-PDP
> Working Group
> <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=41899467>,
> ICANN developed a set of resources to help streamline and communicate how
> we implement Consensus Policies, including a standard policy implementation
> framework and policy change calendar system. These resources will be housed
> on the new policy implementation status and resources page, which is now
> live <https://www.icann.org/policy/implementation>. The processes and
> resources will likely evolve over time, but mark an exciting first step
> toward enhancing the transparency, accountability and predictability of
> ICANN's implementation of Consensus Policy recommendations.
>
> Specifics about the new standard policy implementation framework and
> policy change calendar system are below. ICANN will review these resources
> in one year to determine if any updates are needed.
> Implementation Framework
>
> First, ICANN has standardized the process that Global Domains Division
> staff follow when implementing GNSO Consensus Policy recommendations that
> have been approved by the ICANN Board of Directors.
>
> This new implementation framework
> <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-consensus-policy-implementation-framework-31may15-en.pdf>
> (
> https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-consensus-policy-implementation-framework-31may15-en.pdf)
> is intended to provide additional transparency surrounding the processes
> that staff use to implement a policy, and to enhance predictability
> surrounding the implementation process and timeline.
>
> ICANN also launched a new implementation status page
> <https://www.icann.org/policy/implementation> that will allow the
> community to track the anticipated path of an implementation effort from
> the time a policy development process launches in the GNSO, until a
> consensus policy is fully implemented and, if applicable, reviewed down the
> road. The page provides projected timeframes for each project's anticipated
> effective date, which will become more accurate over time as a policy
> project nears the Board approval and implementation stage.
> Policy Change Calendar System
>
> Additionally, starting today, ICANN will bundle the effective dates for
> new Consensus Policies into groups. The groups' effective dates will be
> announced at least six months apart, to give contracted parties time to
> prepare for each group of changes before the next round of new requirements
> goes into effect.
>
> For example, ICANN could announce on 1 February that a new group of policy
> implementations is scheduled to go into effect (announcements of new policy
> requirements are posted on ICANN.org and sent as notifications to the
> relevant contracted parties). Following the standard policy change
> calendar's six-month implementation window, each new policy in this group
> would go into effect on 1 August. This would give contracted parties a full
> six months to prepare to comply with the new requirements of each policy in
> the group. After this period has passed, the official announcement for the
> next group will go out, with its effective date six months from the
> announcement.
>
> These groupings will be assigned based on a variety of factors, including
> the time of the policies' completion and the total estimated level of
> effort that the new requirements will place on contracted parties.
>
> If implementation details are ready before the planned announcement date,
> ICANN staff will share the details with the community beforehand to provide
> even more time to prepare. All details about the implementations and
> projections about upcoming change cycles will be posted on the new 
> implementation
> status page <https://www.icann.org/policy/implementation> (
> https://www.icann.org/policy/implementation).
