Dear Councilors, On behalf of the GNSO’s Standing Committee on Continuous Improvement (SCCI), I’m pleased to report that the SCCI has completed its review and analysis of the Policy and Implementation Policy Status Report (PSR), which examined GNSO mechanisms like the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) and GNSO Guidance Process (GGP). Presuming availability of speakers, the expectation is that the attached Final Report will be on the agenda for discussion during the 15 January meeting, with a vote to adopt the report the following month. I am equally pleased to inform you all that the report is refreshingly brief at just 10 pages, with a total of only 3 recommendations! If you have any questions, please let us know. Best, Steve Steven Chan
