Dear Community Leaders:
Earlier this year the ICANN Policy Development Support Team took on the implementation of specific ATRT2 recommendations looking to evolve and improve various aspects of the ICANN Public Comments infrastructure and operations.
As part of those staff implementation obligations, my team committed to assessing the implementation effort and to producing a report of that analysis for the community by the end of this year. I am pleased to share that the assessment report has now been completed and is posted on the community wiki at this link - https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56987496. A pdf version of the report is available to download from that page.
To help staff anticipate, envision and prepare for future improvements regarding how the organization manages, maintains and supports future community input streams, we are forming a staff Public Input Advisory Team pulling in representatives from different staff teams to share their perspectives. I am hopeful that we’ll be able to incorporate input and collaboration opportunities with community members to make that a practical, useful and valuable effort. If you or any member of community would be interested in contributing to such an effort, please drop me a line. We hope to get the group together at least once before the ICANN55 Marrakech meeting.
Best Regards and Happy New Year,
David
