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

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

Chuck,
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider Westlake's Draft Report and 
for your feedback.  Staff appreciate your detailed approach and I am sure that 
the Westlake team will agree that your comments and questions in advance of the 
Monday meeting are extremely helpful.

Jen is considering the agenda proposed by staff and the most effective way to 
provide the Working Party with an overview of the Draft Report while ensuring 
that everyone's questions and feedback are heard and addressed.

We look forward to a productive meeting on Monday.

Have a nice weekend,
Larisa

Thank you very much for everyone who contributed to the production of this 
draft report and especially to Westlake and ICANN staff.  It is a significant 
piece of work.

In the attached version of the report I inserted 47 comments and also made some 
minor edits that are redlined.  My comments vary from personal support of 
recommendations made to questions about intent to clarifications of points that 
I think are inaccurate.  I have no idea how we plan to structure the two 
upcoming meetings but because of the large number of comments I made, I thought 
it would be better to put them right in the document.

As we work together to finalize the report, I would like to suggest that a full 
redline be created of all the final changes made from the draft that was 
distributed on April 29 to the final version.  This would be for Working Party 
members only. Considering the length of the report, I believe that will make it 
much easier for each of us review all the final edits made.

Chuck

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.
