The question both I and I believe Maxim asked was very simple. The response we’ve been sent, however, does not really answer it. I also find it more than a little odd that it took this long to get a response.

SENT ON BEHALF OF THERESA SWINEHART Dear GNSO Council members, Thank you for the questions about the Evolution of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model project. The project derives from ICANN’s Strategic Plan; specifically the strategic objective on governance, which stems from community input during trend identification exercises. The project is on track to conclude shortly after ICANN66, with the publication of a work plan outlining issues affecting the effective and efficient functioning of ICANN’s MSM, which groups will address those issues, how and by when. The work plan will be published for public comment in conjunction with ICANN’s Five-Year Operating and Financial Plan, which itself will be open for public comment in late 2019. A public comment period<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/multistakeholder-model-next-steps-201…> recently opened to gather community feedback on the issues to be addressed in the work plan, including whether the issues are already addressed by other solutions that are either being developed or are being implemented; what solutions may be developed if no solution exists; which group (community, Board or org) should be tasked with developing a solution; and how the issue ought to be prioritized. This project is funded from the FY20 adopted budget. The MSSI team is providing support, including help with hosting webinars, ICANN meeting sessions, posting documents and communications for public comment, etc. We hope the GNSO community will participate, and we hope they will find the two webinars<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2019-08-27-en> held on 11 and 12 September on the public comment proceedings helpful regarding any questions they may have. Thank you. Best regards, Theresa

Dear GNSO Councilors, Please see the attached slightly revised version of the document. Kind regards, Julie From: council <council-bounces(a)gnso.icann.org> on behalf of Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund(a)icann.org> Date: Monday, September 9, 2019 at 7:11 PM To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Subject: [council] IRP-IOT Small Team: DRAFT GNSO Input on Questions Relating to the Issues for Considerations Regarding the IRP IOT Dear GNSO Councilors, As you may recall, Elsa Saade and Flip Petillion volunteered to be the small team to draft a possible GNSO Council response to the request for the community to respond to the questions relating to the IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IOT) as requested at ICANN65. The original deadline to respond to ICANN Org was 15 April 2019, per the Blog Post from Göran Marby dated 09 March 2019: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/independent-review-process-standing-panel-c… [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_blo…>. In May Samantha Eisner and David McCauley gave a presentation on the IRP-IOT to the GNSO Council. At ICANN65 the Council asked for volunteers to draft possible GNSO Council responses, which Elsa and Flip have now done and it is attach for your consideration after considerable discussion and upon reviewing the comments provided by the GNSO Community. We have confirmed with Samantha Eisner that ICANN Org is still interested in receiving input from the GNSO. This document is on the agenda for discussion for the GNSO Council meeting on Thursday, 19 September. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Final Proposed Agenda GNSO Council Meeting - 19 September 2019 at 21:00 UTC
by Andrea Glandon Sept. 13, 2019

Sept. 13, 2019

Dear all, Please find below the final proposed agenda for the GNSO Council Meeting on 19 September 2019 at 21:00 UTC. Final GNSO Council Agenda 19 September 2019 Please note that all documents referenced in the agenda have been gathered on a Wiki page for convenience and easier access: https://community.icann.org/x/MY-kBg This agenda was established according to the GNSO Operating Procedures<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-30jan18-en.pdf> v3.3, updated on 30 January 2018 For convenience: * An excerpt of the ICANN Bylaws defining the voting thresholds is provided in Appendix 1 at the end of this agenda. * An excerpt from the Council Operating Procedures defining the absentee voting procedures is provided in Appendix 2 at the end of this agenda. GNSO Council meeting held at 21:00 UTC Coordinated Universal Time: 21:00 UTC: https://tinyurl.com/y29q6mfl 16:00 Los Angeles; 17:00 Washington; 22:00 London; (next day) 02:00 Islamabad; 06:00 Tokyo; 07:00 Melbourne GNSO Council Meeting Audio Cast Listen in browser: http://stream.icann.org:8000/stream0<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__stream.icann.org-3A8000…>1 Listen in application such as iTunes: http://stream.icann.org:8000/stream01.m3u Councilors should notify the GNSO Secretariat in advance if they will not be able to attend and/or need a dial out call. ___________________________________ Item 1: Administrative Matters (10 mins) 1.1 - Roll Call 1.2 - Updates to Statements of Interest 1.3 - Review / Amend Agenda 1.4 - Note the status of minutes for the previous Council meetings per the GNSO Operating Procedures: Minutes<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2019/minutes/draft-minute…> of the GNSO Council meeting on the 18 July 2019 were posted on the 02 August 2019 Minutes<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2019/minutes/minutes-coun…> of the GNSO Council meeting on the 22 August 2019 were posted on the 6 September 2019 Item 2: Opening Remarks / Review of Projects & Action List (10 minutes) 2.1 - Review focus areas and provide updates on specific key themes / topics, to include review of Projects List <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/project> and Action Item List<https://community.icann.org/x/RgZlAg> Item 3: Consent Agenda (0 minutes) * None Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – ICANN Board referrals of CCT-RT recommendations to GNSO Council and GNSO PDP WGs (10 minutes) On 10 June 2019, ICANN org communicated to the GNSO Council that the ICANN Board resolution passed on 1 March 2019 – see https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-03-01-en [icann.org]<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-03-01-en%20…> - calls for a set of Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) Final Recommendations to be passed through to community groups. As articulated in the Board resolution, “recognizing that the Board has the obligation and responsibility to balance the work of ICANN in order to preserve the ability for ICANN org to serve its Mission and the public interest, the Board decided on three categories of action”: * Accepting recommendations, subject to costing and implementation considerations; * Placing recommendations (in whole or in part) in "Pending" status, directing ICANN org to perform specific actions to enable the Board to take further actions; * Passing recommendations (in whole or in part) to community groups the CCT-RT identified for their consideration. The Board noted fourteen such recommendations (9, 10, 12, 16, 19, 20, 25, 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35). The Council was specifically invited to review to pages 1-4 of the scorecard https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-final-cct-recs-scor…<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-final-cct-recs-scor…> which compile pass-through recommendations, including the groups they are addressed to. The recommendations the ICANN Board resolved to pass through to the GNSO Council, in whole or in part, for its consideration: * Recommendation 10. * Recommendation 16 (in part) Note: this recommendation was also passed through to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG, Registries Stakeholder Group, Registrar Stakeholder Group, Generic Names Supporting Organization, Second Security, Stability & Resiliency of DNS Review Team as suggested by the CCT-RT. In the scorecard, the Board noted that “it is not accepting the policy directives that may be inherent here but rather, passes on such elements of the recommendation to the relevant community groups to consider”. * Recommendation 27. * Recommendation 28. * Recommendation 29. Note: this recommendation was also passed through to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG, as suggested by the CCT-RT. To inform work relating to recommendations 29 and 30, the ICANN Board suggested that the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG could take on, “should they choose to do so, defining the term ‘Global South’ or agreeing on another term to describe underserved or underrepresented regions or stakeholders in coordination with ICANN org”. The Board noted in its resolution that: “in passing these recommendations through, the Board is neither accepting, nor rejecting the recommendations. […] Passing recommendations through to community groups is not a directive that the groups identified should formally address any of the issues within those recommendations. It is within the purview of each group to identify whether work will be taken on and the topics that the group will address” A small group of Council volunteers reviewed the recommendations passed through to the GNSO Council as well as a number of Recommendations were passed through to gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group and/or Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPM) PDP Working Group. In order to have a better picture of where all the Recommendations passed to the GNSO and its PDPs stand, the GNSO Chair is planning to write to the leadership of the Working Groups seeking their feedback. An initial draft with the small team's proposed GNSO Council response to those 5 Recommendations passed through directly to the GNSO were circulated to the GNSO Council on 23 July for review and consideration [https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/proposed-…] Here the Council will consider the initial draft and whether and how to coordinate with the PDP WGs to which recommendations were also passed through. 4.1 – Introduction of topic (Pam Little) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 – Next steps Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Discussion of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Policy Status Report and Council next steps (15 minutes) The Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) provides guidance to ICANN org and the community for implementing policy. However, there is minimal guidance in this document or in other documentation around the review of implemented policies adopted by the GNSO Council. In some cases, a review is explicitly mandated as an element of the PDP WG’s recommendations to the Council, but in some cases, the recommendations are silent in this respect. ICANN org, in consultation with the Council, prepared a draft framework<https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/post-implementation-policy-review-framewor…> on the approach for post-implementation reviews of Council adopted policy recommendations. The framework provides guidance on a number of questions (e.g., When should a review be initiated when there is no PDP recommendation to do so? What triggers should initiate a review? What are the expected outcomes of the review? Etc.). During its 26 April 2018 meeting, the Council agreed to have ICANN org conduct a review of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP). ICANN org utilized the draft framework for conducting the post-implementation review of the IRTP. On 14 November 2018, ICANN org published<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/irtp-status-2018-11-14-en> the IRTP Policy Status Report for public comment. ICANN org has worked to integrate elements identified in public comment and on 22 April 2019, shared a Revised Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Status Report<https://gnso.icann.org/issues/transfers/irtp-status-22apr19-en.pdf>. As noted in the report, there are no prescribed next steps once the Council is in receipt of the report. As such, here, the Council will discuss possible next steps for the Transfer Policy taking into account the Transfer Policy Review briefing document<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_draf…> prepared by staff and the recent feedback from the Registrar Stakeholder Group (RrSG) regarding its suggested approach. 5.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 – Next Steps Item 6: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Draft Amendments to the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Charter to Integrate Recommendation 5 From IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms Final Report (15 minutes) On 18 April 2019, the Council voted<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+18+April+20…> to approve recommendations 1-4 of Final Report from the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms PDP WG. The Council also resolved to not approve Recommendation 5 and, ” directs the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs (RPM) PDP to consider, as part of its Phase 2 work, whether an appropriate policy solution can be developed that is generally consistent with Recommendations 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the PDP Final Report and: * accounts for the possibility that an IGO may enjoy jurisdictional immunity in certain circumstances; * does not affect the right and ability of registrants to file judicial proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction; * preserves registrants’ rights to judicial review of an initial UDRP or URS decision; and * recognizes that the existence and scope of IGO jurisdictional immunity in any particular situation is a legal issue to be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.” The GNSO Council resolved also to, “amend the charter for the RPMs PDP Working Group to reflect this new instruction accordingly.” Some members of the GNSO Council met with certain members of the GAC and IGOs at ICANN65, where there appeared to be agreement from the GAC/IGOs to support the chartering of this separate work. A small team of Councilors was convened to prepare draft amendments<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/rpms-char…> to the RPMs PDP charter, which was shared with the Council on 10 September 2019. Here, the Council will discuss the draft, but take no action at this time. Consultation with the GAC/IGOs is still required before a motion can be submitted. 6.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership / Small team) 6.2 – Council discussion 6.3 – Next Steps Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – ICANN Org’s Request for Clarification on Data Accuracy and Phase-2 of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (10 minutes) On 21 June 2019, the GNSO Council received a letter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/marby-to-…> from ICANN Org, which was seeking a better understanding of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) Team’s plans “to consider the subject of "data accuracy" as it relates to gTLD registration data and related services, such as the WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS)<https://whois.icann.org/en/whoisars>.” Further, “ICANN org notes that footnote #6 on page 7 of the EPDP Phase 1 Final Report states: “The topic of accuracy as related to GDPR compliance is expected to be considered further as well as the WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System.” However, it is not clear who would consider this topic and when. Therefore, ICANN org seeks the GNSO Council’s clarification on whether the Phase 2 EPDP Team will be considering the subject of data accuracy, including projects that utilize gTLD registration data, such as WHOIS ARS.” The GNSO Council prepared a response to acknowledge the letter reception. However, the Council still needs to prepare its substantive input to the request from ICANN org. A small team has been working on that substantive response and will provide their initial thoughts on the key themes to be contained in the response. Here, the small team will lead a discussion on the themes of the substantive response. 7.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership / small team) 7.2 – Council discussion 7.3 – Next steps Item 8: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - EPDP P1 Recommendation 27: ICANN Org’s Assessment of Impact From GDPR on Existing Policies / Procedures (15 minutes) In the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy Development Process Team Phase 1 (EPDP P1) Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/epdp-gtld…>, recommendation #27 asked that during the implementation of the policy recommendations, existing policies / procedures be made consistent with the changes to required data elements. ICANN org prepared a draft work plan to address EPDP Phase 1 Recommendation 27, which was shared<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2019-August/022994.html> with the GNSO Council and IRT on 27 August. Here, the Council will receive an update from ICANN Org on the status of its implementation work to date on this recommendation. 8.1 – Introduction of topic (ICANN org - Karen Lentz) 8.2 – Council discussion 8.3 – Next steps Item 9: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - PDP 3.0 Small Group Update/Discussion (10 minutes) In advance of the 22 August 2019 GNSO Council meeting, the PDP 3.0 Small Team completed five (5) out of fourteen (14) PDP 3.0 improvements, provided an update, and requested feedback by 13 September 2019. Work continued on the rest of the nine (9) improvements in the pipeline, which are at various levels of progress. While a number of improvements are nearing completion, they are not yet at a point where they are ready for Council review. The PDP 3.0 small group has prepared a work plan that covers items leading up to ICANN66, as well as additional elements needed to complete the project. The PDP 3.0 small group is expected to provide a factual update of the work to date to the public comment period for the Next Steps to Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/multistakeholder-model-next-steps-201…>. Given the connections between the topics, the PDP 3.0 small group believes that it is in a good position to provide that update. Here, the Council will receive an update on progress made to date and the work plan to complete the PDP 3.0 implementation. 9.1 - Introduction of topic (Rafik Dammak) 9.2 - Council discussion 9.3 - Next steps Item 10: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Draft Response to the Verisign Request to Defer Enforcement of the Thick WHOIS Transition Policy (10 minutes) On 29 July 2019, Verisign wrote<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/kane-to-namazi-29jul19…> to ICANN org again requesting an extension to the current implementation plan for the Thick WHOIS Transition Policy by one year. The ICANN Board wrote<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/chalaby-t…> to the GNSO Council, asking for the Council’s views on whether it believes the request should be granted. The ICANN Board requested response during or immediately following the GNSO Council meeting on 19 September. A draft response<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2019-September/023022.html> was circulated on 6 September, which notes the expected policy work related to the Thick WHOIS Transition Policy, but also notes that the request for deferral is from an ICANN Contracted Party and is not a matter of policy development. Here, the Council will discuss the draft and the underlying conclusions and rationale. 10.1 - Introduction of topic (Rafik Dammak and Pam Little) 10.2 - Council discussion 10.3 - Next steps Item 11: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Draft Response to Questions on the Independent Review Process Oversight Team (IRP-IOT) (10 minutes) On 09 May 2019, ICANN org published a Call to Action for the Independent Review Process Standing Panel, which was intended to help the Independent Review Process Implementation Oversight Team (IRP-IOT) in its critical role of implementing the updated IRP. ICANN org published a series of questions, posed to the various Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees, seeking input to pending issues. The GNSO convened a small team, tasked with preparing a draft response<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/drazek-et…> on behalf of the Council. Here, the small team will seek feedback from the Council on its draft response. 11.1 - Introduction of topic (Small Team) 11.2 - Council discussion 11.3 - Next steps Item 12: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (5 minutes) 12.1 - Draft GNSO Council letter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/gnso-coun…> to the ICANN Board regarding potential dependencies between the Name Collisions Analysis Project (NCAP) and New gTLD Subsequent Procedures. 12.2 - Approval of the 2019 slate of Members and Liaisons on the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) - possible email vote _______________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11.

ICANN Org reply to the GNSO Council regarding the Evolution of the Multistakeholder Model of Governance Project
by Mary Wong Sept. 13, 2019

Sept. 13, 2019

Dear Councilors, Please find below a note from Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President for ICANN Org’s Multistakeholder Strategy & Strategic Initiatives (MSSI) department, responding to the Council’s question as to the anticipated timing, funding and expected deliverables for the Evolution of the Multistakeholder Model of Governance project. SENT ON BEHALF OF THERESA SWINEHART Dear GNSO Council members, Thank you for the questions about the Evolution of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model project. The project derives from ICANN’s Strategic Plan; specifically the strategic objective on governance, which stems from community input during trend identification exercises. The project is on track to conclude shortly after ICANN66, with the publication of a work plan outlining issues affecting the effective and efficient functioning of ICANN’s MSM, which groups will address those issues, how and by when. The work plan will be published for public comment in conjunction with ICANN’s Five-Year Operating and Financial Plan, which itself will be open for public comment in late 2019. A public comment period<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/multistakeholder-model-next-steps-201…> recently opened to gather community feedback on the issues to be addressed in the work plan, including whether the issues are already addressed by other solutions that are either being developed or are being implemented; what solutions may be developed if no solution exists; which group (community, Board or org) should be tasked with developing a solution; and how the issue ought to be prioritized. This project is funded from the FY20 adopted budget. The MSSI team is providing support, including help with hosting webinars, ICANN meeting sessions, posting documents and communications for public comment, etc. We hope the GNSO community will participate, and we hope they will find the two webinars<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2019-08-27-en> held on 11 and 12 September on the public comment proceedings helpful regarding any questions they may have.

Update: PDP 3.0 and Council Comments on the MSM Evolution Effort
by Drazek, Keith Sept. 12, 2019

Sept. 12, 2019

Hi all, In preparation for our next Council call on 19 September, I'm providing a brief update here on next steps for developing Council comments on the MSM Evolution effort. As you know, there were two webinars this week hosted by Brian Cute providing the community an update on his work, and a public comment period has been opened. The deadline for those comments is 28 October 2019. Here's the link: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/multistakeholder-model-next-steps-201… Given that the GNSO Council's PDP 3.0 work and the MSM Evolution effort have some potential overlap and commonality, the Council leadership team believes it's appropriate for our PDP 3.0 small group to take the lead on drafting Council's MSM Evolution comments. If anyone else would like to join the effort, you are welcome to do so, but it will be led by Rafik and Pam under PDP 3.0 small team coordination. Of course, any comments developed will be subject to full Council review. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Keith

REMINDER: Global Public Interest Framework Webinar Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Adviser to President and Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The global public interest is central to many of ICANN’s primary governance documents, and the ICANN Board hopes to play a role in facilitating a bottom-up, community-driven process to develop a framework as a toolkit for the ICANN community to consider the global public interest. These considerations would not change the process by which decisions are made but could instead serve as tools for the community to reinforce the commitment to the public interest and to demonstrate how specific recommendations, advice, and public comments are in the global public interest. This includes the ICANN community guiding the ICANN Board about the public interest determination the latter must make in its decisions. To learn more about the framework, please read the discussion paper (PDF) [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…> and for more information, visit the wiki [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>.

Following the webinars, there will be a community consultation to gather community input on the proposed framework. The consultation will run from Wednesday, 18 September 2019 to Friday, 18 October 2019. Community feedback is welcome via email at gpitoolkit(a)icann.org<mailto:gpitoolkit@icann.org>.

FW: [Ext] ICANN News Alert -- Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (cct-rt) Accepted Recommendations – Plan for Implementation and Next Steps

FYI From: ICANN <no-reply(a)external.icann.org> Reply-To: "no-reply(a)external.icann.org" <no-reply(a)external.icann.org> Date: Thursday, September 12, 2019 at 1:34 AM To: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] ICANN News Alert -- Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (cct-rt) Accepted Recommendations – Plan for Implementation and Next Steps [ICANN Announcement Alerts] Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (cct-rt) Accepted Recommendations – Plan for Implementation and Next Steps [newsalerts.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_M…> 11 September 2019 Open Date: 11 September 2019 Close Date: 21 October 2019 Originating Organization: Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives Categories/Tags: Specific Review, competition, consumer trust, consumer choice, new gTLDs Brief Overview: On 1 March 2019, the ICANN Board took action on the Final Recommendations produced by the Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) – see https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-03-01-en [newsalerts.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_C…> and directed ICANN org to "develop and submit to the Board a plan for the implementation of the accepted recommendations". The Board resolution called for the plan to be completed and provided to the community for consideration no later than six months after Board action. The plan for implementation [newsalerts.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_o…> provides an overview of implementation activities to be undertaken, where possible, highlights dependencies, and enumerates resources requirements (if any). It sets out the approach for future implementation of the six CCT-RT recommendations the Board resolved to accept and assembles estimates that are directional for understanding. Community input is requested to determine whether the path suggested by ICANN org to implement the six Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) recommendations the Board resolved to accept on 1 March 2019 is reasonable in the context of the intent of CCT-RT. Additionally, community feedback is invited on the next steps for accepted recommendations. In exercising its fiduciary duty, the Board intends to consider the proposed plan for implementation as well as community feedback received on the proposed path forward and considerations specific to each recommendation. Once the community input adequately considered, the ICANN Board will direct ICANN org to produce a detailed implementation plan that results in the implementation of recommendations 1, 17, 21, 22, 30, 31, including any adjustments the input received through the public comment proceeding may potentially prompt. Further implementation details, including resources availability, scheduling, will be supplemented with specific details and budget plans once the implementation steps are underway.
