In 2016，ISOC published its report "Internet Governance ?C Why the Multistakeholder Approach Works”.  I think It is very helpful to the discussion of evolving multistakeholder model.

In the report， ISOC emphasised that the effectiveness is most important for the  multistakeholder decision-making.

ISOC also developed four attributes of successful multistakeholder decision-making to guide the next phase of its evolution:

1.inclusiveness and transparency;

2.collective responsibility;

3.effective decision-making and implementation; 4.collaboration through distributed and interoperable governance.

We can use these for the issues of evolving MSM：

**inclusiveness and transparency

8. ISSUE: Inclusiveness

11. ISSUE: Accountability

12. ISSUE: Transparency

6. ISSUE: Recruitment

7. ISSUE: Representativeness

**collective responsibility

9. ISSUE: Consensus

15. ISSUE: Roles and Responsibilities

**effective decision-making and implementation

1. ISSUE:  Timing of decision-making: Our processes take too long

2. ISSUE: Complexity

4. ISSUE: Prioritization of Work

5. ISSUE: Demographics

10. ISSUE: Precision in Scoping the Work

13. ISSUE: Costs

16. ISSUE: Efficient Use of Resources

17. ISSUE: Volunteer Burnout

18. ISSUE: Silos

19. ISSUE: Work Processes

21. ISSUE: Terms 

**collaboration through distributed and interoperable governance

3. ISSUE: Culture

14. ISSUE: Trust

20. ISSUE: Holistic view of ICANN 

The multistakeholder approach is a toolbox, a way of doing things that can be used anywhere, from solving a specific problem or to helping an institution evolve; not a a single model or ‘all or nothing’ solution. In reality there is no single model that works everywhere or for every issue.

The multistakeholder approach must adapt to meet new challenges and develop a framework for ongoing improvement.

New Issue：

For Evolving MSM，we need some metrics to evaluate how much we improve to bridge the gap between the reality and the ideal. And the “evoled” MSM should set up a mechanism of bringing new blood into it.
