Dear GNSO Council,

As part of the 22 July GNSO Council meeting, please find attached the proposed project plan for the Transfer Policy Review’s deliverable dates.

Per PDP3.0, Working Groups are now required to submit its proposed schedule of milestones and deliverable dates to the GNSO Council as the managers of the Policy Development Process. The intent of this requirement is to increase predictability for managing current and future policy work in the GNSO’s pipeline. This is also about increasing the accountability of the Working Group, its leadership and support staff to deliver on schedule per its charter requirements.

The proposed key milestone dates:

• 16 Jun 2022 – Deliver Phase 1A Initial Report on Transfer Policy for public comment, begin Phase 1B deliberations on Change of Registrant
• 14 Sep 2022 – Conclude review Phase 1A comments
• 30 Mar 2023 – Deliver Phase 1B Initial Report for public comment
• 28 Jun 2023 – Conclude review of Phase 1B public comments
• 16 Aug 2023 – Deliver Phase 1A, 1B Final Report to the GNSO Council
• Phase 2 is not in scope for this plan, but this process will be repeated when it begins.

The first page of the PDF is a summary timeline and the remaining pages contain the expanded view of tasks, duration, dependencies, and target dates. Upon the GNSO Council’s confirmation of the project plan and deliverable dates, the TPR will produce monthly project packages as you have seen with other PDPs.

In the meantime, should you have questions, please feel free to ask them on the list.

Thanks,

Greg
