Dear All,

Please find attached the latest version of the GNSO Council’s Projects List for the meeting on 24 June 2020. Per the agenda, the Council will not review the project list in detail. However, after your review 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:

You will notice a cleaner version of the project list summary page due to some recent enhancements to streamline updates to this work product.
A new section has been added labelled “Planning”. This is work-in-progress pending the final development of the next generation program management tool. There are several projects listed in this section to draw attention to largest efforts/decisions ahead of the GNSO Council, but this section will likely evolve to a single row with a pointer to the new tool. We may not have enough time for the June Council meeting to review the program management tool in detail, but the Council leadership will determine next steps in this regard.
For individual projects, the % Complete graphs were replaced with a numeric value. This change is mostly to streamline monthly updates, but the prior version of the graph was also difficult to detect % level with accuracy and noted changes from month to month. However, EPDP-P2 will maintain this style until it delivers its final report as to maintain consistency with prior monthly reporting of the project package as defined in PDP3.0.

Key Project Changes since May 2020:

Transfer Policy Issue Report – Resolution submitted for Council consideration at the June meeting.
EPDP-Phase 2 – PCR submitted for Council consideration extending the EPDP to 30 July for delivery of its Final Report on the SSAD (Priority 1 items).
CCWG-Auctions – migrated to the “5-Council Deliberation” phase for consideration by the GNSO Council in July.

I hope you’ll find this helpful and I’m happy to answer further questions on the list in the meantime.

Thank you.
