Dear All,

Please find attached the latest version of the GNSO Council’s Projects List for the meeting on 20 August 2020. Per the agenda, the Council will not review the project list in detail. However, after your review in advance of the meeting and should you find an area that you have questions or parts that need clarification, you will have the opportunity to do so under agenda item #2.

Key Structural Changes:

• Please refer to the latest Action/Decision Radar (ADR) (also attached). Note, we’re in the process of streamlining the ADR/PMT, Projects List, and Council Action Items to Google Docs for a more streamlined experience.
• The “0 – Planning” section of the Projects List Summary Page has been reduced to a single line item. The link will take you to the Council Actions Items page until we complete the task above. Note, the quantity of the “0 – Planning” section, as depicted on the graph, is based on an initial count of current items on the ADR and PMT. This may not be accurate as this is an iterative process until we balance the new Program Mgmt Tool (PMT) and ADR tools with the Projects List to minimize overlap.
• The “1 – Issue Identification” section is a count of the GNSO Council Action Items and the Transfer Policy – Issue Report.

Key Project Changes since July 2020:

• EPDP-Phase 2 – The Final Report was delivered to the GNSO Council on 31 July 2020 and now resides in the “5 – Council Deliberations” phase.

Thank you.
