No objection from me Irina From: ccnso-grc <ccnso-grc-bounces@icann.org> On Behalf Of Bart Boswinkel via ccnso-grc Sent: Wednesday, December 6, 2023 3:08 PM To: ccnso-council@icann.org Cc: ccNSO-GRC@icann.org Subject: [ccnso-grc] Comment on Continuous Improvement Program-Cross Community Group Terms of Reference (CIP-CCR ToR) Importance: High Dear all, As requested by Council the GRC reviewed the ICANN proposed Terms of Reference for a cross-community group tasked with coordinating the development of a framework for continuous improvement and sharing practices of the various participating groups (22 in total). Included is the draft comment as proposed by the GRC as was concluded yesterday. You will recall that Alejandra received the proposal at the Roundtable and you (briefly) discussed it at the Hamburg Council meeting. As a result the GRC was requested to look at the proposal and propose a comment. Alejandra suggested that she would reply by 7 December 2023. To make this date, please let the list know if you have any objections on list by 7 December 2023 noon UTC. Background – ATRT-3 recommended to end Organizational Reviews and replace them with a Continuous Improvement Program (recommendation 3.6) and aspect of the Holistic Review (recommendation 3.5). The recommendations were adopted by the Board, and the organizational reviews have been put on hold (temporarily until June 2025 whne the Board will revisit the decision), assuming ICANN and community make considerable progress with implementing these recommendations. Thank you, kind regards, Bart
