Subject: [gnso-review-dt] Consideration of GNSO Review Recommendations

Dear Jen and members of the GNSO Review Working Party,

The Board is getting ready to take action on the GNSO Review Recommendations 
along with the substantial analysis and feedback from all of you and others in 
the GNSO.  As you can see from the update below, the work of your group has 
been combined with feedback from the GNSO Council and other community members 
to provide the Organizational Effectiveness Committee with a full picture.  OEC 
members have some questions for the Working Party and staff will compile and 
circulate these questions within the next day.

Update on the Board's consideration of the GNSO Review Recommendations
Following the GNSO Council's adoption of the GNSO Review Working Party's 
recommendations (see James Bladel's transmittal  
letter<http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/bladel-to-abdul-rahim-27apr16-en.pdf>
 to Rinalia Abdul Rahim, dated 27 April 2016), Staff has put together a Summary 
of GNSO Review Recommendations for OEC Consideration (attached). The purpose of 
this document is to provide the Committee with a complete overview of all 
pertinent information in connection with the GNSO Review Recommendations.  At 
their next meeting on 15 May, the Committee will discuss the GNSO Review 
recommendations  with the objective of formulating the Committee's 
recommendation to the Board.  Jen Wolfe will be present to answer Committee's 
questions and provide clarification on the work of the Working Party.

The document contains the Recommendations of the Independent  Examiner, the 
feedback from the GNSO Review Working Party (including implementation 
priority), and a description of work already underway. In addition, community 
feedback and comments concerning implementation are summarized in Annex A. This 
feedback is the result of a webinar held on 12 April 2016 
(transcript<http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/transcript-gnso-review-12apr16-en.pdf>
 and recording<http://audio.icann.org/gnso/gnso-review-12apr16-en.mp3>) and of 
the GNSO Council call held on 14 April 2016 
(transcript<http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/transcript-council-14apr16-en.pdf>
 (p.21 onwards) and 
recording<http://audio.icann.org/gnso/gnso-council-14apr16-en.mp3> (0:47:19 
onwards)).

Next steps

1.       OEC Committee members are reviewing all the materials and staff is 
compiling their questions for the Working Party.  We will circulate these 
questions within the next day to give you sufficient time to develop responses. 
 As always, staff is available to assist you.


2.       Once the OEC has discussed this matter, the Committee will make a 
recommendation  to the ICANN Board for its consideration. Staff currently 
anticipates that the Board will be able to deliberate the GNSO Review 
Recommendations during its meeting in Helsinki.


3.       Finally, with a view to the forthcoming implementation process, the 
GNSO Council requested ICANN policy staff to 'prepare a discussion paper that 
outlines the possible options for dealing with the implementation of the GNSO 
Review recommendations following adoption by the ICANN Board, taking into 
account the past implementation of the GNSO Review as well as existing 
mechanisms such as the SCI, the GNSO Review Working Party and other applicable 
best practices and lessons learned from past reviews.'  The plan  will take  
into consideration the views of the Council as well as those by the OEC and the 
Board,  and address various elements essential for an effective and efficient 
implementation process.  These elements include:  prioritization of 
recommendations in line with GNSO and ICANN capacity; clear articulation of 
expected outcomes from implementation; and definition of means to measure 
effectiveness of implementation.

If you have any further questions or require clarifications, please do not 
hesitate to reach out at any time.
Thank you for your enormous effort and contribution to making the GNSO Review 
an effective accountability mechanism.

All the best,
