[gnso-review-dt] Important Session & Public Comment

[Jen Wolfe <jwolfe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi GNSO Review Working Party!

I hope your ICANN meeting is productive and appreciate all of you who attended 
our working session this morning.  As we discussed this morning, I would like 
to flag for you two important upcoming events - Wednesday session on Reviews 
and the Public Comment period on Proposed Review Schedule and Process 
Improvements that is scheduled to close on 2 July.  The review schedule affects 
the volunteer's workload, and as the GNSO Review Working Party we have very 
important insights and feedback to offer.  Please let me know if you would like 
to comment as a GNSO Review Working Party.  I'm happy to do the leg work and 
pull together the comment, but your feedback is important for us to make a 
comment as the Working Party.

I've included the information for both below:

Public session at ICANN53 AoC and Organizational Reviews: Supporting ICANN 
Accountability<http://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-aoc-org-reviews>

*              Wed, 24 June 2015 - 10:30 to 12:00 ART; Room: Libertador AB

*              Session overview:  Reviews make an important contribution to 
supporting ICANN accountability. During this session, we will cover Reviews 
defined by the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) and Organizational Reviews, 
mandated by ICANN's Bylaws. Topics will include: proposed schedule for upcoming 
reviews, proposed process and operational improvements to enhance efficiency 
and effectiveness of reviews, implementation status of recommendations from the 
Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT2), the Security, 
Stability & Resiliency of the DNS Review (SSR) and the "WHOIS Policy" Review 
(WHOIS).

Public Comment pertaining to Proposed Schedule and Process/Operational 
Improvements for AoC and Organizational 
Reviews<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/proposed-aoc-org-reviews-process-2015-05-15-en>.

*              Public comments period closes 2 July.

*              The purpose of this Public Comment posting:  to request 
community feedback on a proposed schedule and process, including operational 
improvements, for Reviews mandated by the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC 
Reviews) and the ICANN Bylaws (Organizational Reviews). The request for the 
community is based on both appreciating the community's workload and the timing 
of several Reviews in FY2016.

*              If you can provide your feedback either on list or during this 
session, I will work with staff to compile it into a public comment on behalf 
of the GNSO Review Working Party.

I know this is an incredibly busy time, but if you can attend the session or 
provide comments, your feedback is important.  I look forward to continuing our 
work in prioritizing the recommendations and making suggestions on feasibility 
in the weeks following the ICANN meeting.  We will follow up with a doodle poll 
to schedule our phone meetings.

Thank you and safe travels throughout the week!

Jen
