Dear Councilors, Following on to John’s message, I thought it would be helpful to provide some additional guidance on how to review the document. You will see there are four columns in the triage document, excluding the numbering of rows. Below, please find the columns names and a brief description of each one: * Output Overview: Relevant SubPro Final Report Recommendation language * Issue Synopsis: Overview of Board’s concerns, with additional context from discussion with Avri and Becky * Notes: Summary of Small Team’s deliberations and assessment of the Board’s concerns * Tentative Proposed GNSO Council Action (option a-g): Small Team’s input to Council on the proposed path forward based on the categories While all of the columns are important in some respect, the “Assessment” in the Notes column and the “Proposed Path Forward” are the most critical aspects to pay attention to, with the latter serving as the primary driver for our future interaction with the Board. To emphasize what John noted, it is really important that you come to the Extraordinary Meeting having reviewed the document and to the extent possible, reviewed it with your SG/Cs as well. Best, Paul From: council <council-bounces@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council-bounces@gnso.icann.org>> on behalf of John McElwaine via council <council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Reply-To: John McElwaine <john.mcelwaine@nelsonmullins.com<mailto:john.mcelwaine@nelsonmullins.com>> Date: Monday, May 1, 2023 at 6:54 PM To: GNSO Council <council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Subject: [council] Small Team's Proposed Recommendations for SubPro Pending Issues Dear Councilors, As reported at the last GNSO Council meeting, the Small Team has completed its review of the SubPro recommendations that the Board marked as “pending”. A large thanks to the Small Team for drafting the attached document which is the Small Team's output per the assignment form. The document captures the deliberations, assessments, and proposed paths forward for each of the relevant Board concerns. The Small Team’s output is intended to be the basis of the GNSO Council's Extraordinary Meeting on 04 May where the hope is that the Council reaches agreement on the proposed paths forward. Further, once the Council reaches agreement, it then needs to get aligned with the Board on the proposed paths forward. It will be important to have reviewed this is advance of the GNSO Council's Extraordinary Meeting. Thank you again to the Small Team for its hard work.
