Dear Council members,

 

The Triage committee took an intermediary decision regarding the request for input on the refined outline prepared by the Review of Reviews Cross Community Group (CCG). Council is requested to prepare a ccNSO Council statement, by the 12 May deadline.

 

Do you wish to join the Council statement drafting team? Please let the Secretariat know as soon as possible, preferably no later than 1 May, COB. We will share a google doc with the members of the drafting team.

 

Thank you,

 

Joke

 

 

About the request for input

 

The refined outline prepared by the Review of Reviews Cross Community Group (CCG)

builds on input received at ICANN85 and online on the March 2026 proposal outline.

The refined outline aims to further advance discussions on designing “a refreshed system of

reviews that meets current and future needs”. Refer to Appendix A - Background for more

information.

While the Reviews CCG recognizes that the refined outline lacks certain details, the intent in

sharing it at this stage is to present the foundational “backbone” of the proposal and to seek

views from Nominating Groups on whether it provides a suitable basis for the development

of the forthcoming Draft Report. Any interested stakeholder is also welcome to share views

using the identified avenue for input.

 

Where can I learn more?

·         The Reviews CCG will hold two 60-minute webinar sessions on Tuesday, 5 May at 06:00

UTC and 18:00 UTC to provide Nominating Groups and interested stakeholders an

opportunity to ask clarifying questions and offer suggestions.
