[gnso-review-dt] GNSO Review - Westlake Draft Report

["Larisa B. Gurnick" <larisa.gurnick@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear members of the GNSO Review Working Party,

Attached is Westlake's Draft Report, incorporating your feedback from several 
weeks ago, along with additional work completed by their team.  Westlake also 
submitted the attached Summary of the Working Party's comments and how they 
were resolved.  These documents will be available for your convenience on the 
GNSO Review Wiki<https://community.icann.org/x/XYI0Aw>.  At your request, this 
Draft Report is intended for GNSO Review Working Party's consideration, prior 
to being posted for Public Comment.  (As a reminder, included below is the 
Review Timeline.)  It represents work in process, with the goal to ensure that 
the Final Report (expected at the end of August) is useful in fostering 
continuous improvement.

Westlake has added Section 1: Report Summary which provides a useful overview.  
Appendix 2: Survey quantitative summary results was  distributed previously and 
can be found on the GNSO Review Wiki<https://community.icann.org/x/voIHAw>.

Continuing Opportunities for Dialogue and Feedback
The ongoing dialogue and engagement with Westlake continues with two working 
sessions in May to discuss the Draft Report.
-   4 May @ 15:00-17:00 UTC
-   12 May @ 19:00-20:30 UTC (if needed)
-   Staff sent calendar invites for these two meetings some time ago - please 
let Charla know if you don't have this information.

Westlake will issue a Draft Report for Public Comment on 1 June, after 
considering your further comments and feedback over the course of the next 
several weeks.  The entire community will have the opportunity to provide 
comments during the Public Comment period (1 June - 20 July).  Section 1: 
Report Summary will be translated into UN languages, plus Portuguese.

Various other outreach and engagement activities are underway. Westlake is 
preparing a brief video highlighting key points of the report, to facilitate 
community engagement.  Staff is planning briefings and additional opportunities 
for interaction with the GNSO and other community members interested in 
providing feedback, during ICANN53.

Staff would welcome your ideas and suggestions of other ways to engage the 
community during the Public Comment period.
