Hi all,

I have added more comments and minor edits to the version Ayden circulated earlier. 

I admit this is the first time I read a GNSO Council Recommendations Report to the Board and it strikes me that the report template might need to be updated. 

Specifically, what seem missing in this draft report are things like policy goals, policy impact analysis and metrics to measure effectiveness of the new policy. These were recommendations from the Data & Metrics Working Group and the most recent GNSO Review, which were approved by the Council and supposedly fully implemented but neither the EPDP Charter, the EPDP Final Report nor this draft report cover these topics. I would have thought these topic are essential for the Council and the Board when approving any PDP/EPDP final recommendations.

I note there are relevant sections (such as 3 and 10) in the draft report but, as currently drafted, Section 3 reads like a restatement of the concerns or positions of certain SGs and Cs while Section 10 does not contain substantive analysis:
 
"3 (An analysis of how the issue(s) would affect each Constituency or Stakeholder Group, including any financial impact on the Constituency or Stakeholder Group) seems to be just a rehash of concerns or positions each SG's/C's 
....

10. Impact/implementation considerations from ICANN staff 

The internal ICANN org implementation team has formed and has begun to review the recommendations to analyze the implementation requirements. ICANN org considers the scope of effort required for this implementation to be significant and extensive. "

 

I welcome others' thoughts.

Kind regards,

Pam
