Dear colleagues, I have some follow-up comments/questions regarding the Policy Impact Assessment (PIA) that Mary kindly sent through after our last meeting, see https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-August/021687.html. I would like to highlight Mary's comment that PIAs are "not mandatory and need not be formally incorporated into the Final Report". Those of you who have a regulatory or policy background would recognise PIA as a standard practice. Within the GNSO, inclusion of a PIA as a standard part of policy development process was recommended by two separate community efforts and the recommendation has purportedly been implemented: 1. The Data and Metric (DMPM) Non-PDP - The Final Report was adopted by the GNSO Council in October 2015 https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20151021-1: Implementation of the recommendation related to PIA was reflected in the current Working Group Charter [gnso.icann.org] template, which provides: "If the WG concludes with any recommendations, the WG must include a policy impact analysis and a set of metrics to measure the effectiveness of the policy change, including source(s) of baseline data for that purpose:...". 2. The GNSO2 Review - The Implementation Final Report was adopted by the GNSO Council at its 18 August 2018 meeting: Recommendation 16: That a policy impact assessment (PIA) be included as a standard part of any policy process. The Working Group agreed by full consensus on 29 May 2017 that the revised GNSO Operating Procedures v3.1, published on 16 February 2016, complete the implementation of recommendation 16. Oddly, since the charter template revision (early 2016), it seems none of the ongoing PDPs' Charters have been updated to include the PIA language. Upon inquiry, I was informed that "a recommendation was deemed implemented if a process, procedure, or requirement was in place to deal with that specific topic, even if that process or procedure had yet to be used." As a member of the DMPM WG and someone who followed the GNSO2 Review, I do not believe such approach is consistent with the spirit or the letter of the recommendation. In light of the above, here are my questions: What (considerations/reasons) prompted the staff-prepared PIA last August (the 2017 PIA), given that it was deemed non-mandatory by the WG and staff? Are those considerations/reasons still relevant? Would the WG or staff agree the 2017 PIA is incomplete or out of date? Would an updated PIA on all Recommendations or on Recommendation #5 assist the Council in its deliberation and consideration and answer the question raised by a councilor "Are the PDP recommendations viable and do they constitute "good policy" (vs. "bad policy")" in an informed and objective manner? How long will it take for staff or the WG to prepare a PIA on all Recommendations? How long will it take for staff or the WG to prepare a PIA on Recommendation #5 only?

ICANN staff to work with the GNSO Chair and Council liaison to determine possible ways to address concerns regarding some of the PDP recommendations within the scope of the PDP Manual, in light of the fact that the WG has not identified any recommendations as being interdependent. Council leadership believes it could be helpful to have a Council discussion on this topic prior to our next Council meeting on 27 September 2018, to go over some of the concerns or issues that Councilors may have and potentially provide clarity on the path forward. If no Councilor objects to this suggestion, we will send out a doodle poll for a call the second week in September. While it would not be a formal Council meeting, it would be a discussion limited to Councilors with a recording made available.

For (1) (note that some questions, including any that Councilors may propose as a result of your review of the PDP work, may be answered via Council discussion, or by the Working Group, or by ICANN staff. The following questions were taken from the 16 August Council call recording, transcript and chat transcript, available at https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/calendar#aug): Does the Council believe that the PDP has addressed the issues that it was chartered to address (i.e. What questions/topics was the Working Group chartered to consider, did it consider those charter topics/questions, and did it do so in a legitimate way); Has the PDP followed due process; Did the PDP Working Group address GAC advice on the topic; and Are the PDP recommendations viable and do they constitute "good policy" (vs. "bad policy")? For (2) (in order of date; all three letters have now been published on ICANN’s Correspondence page, at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/correspondence): Letter from the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs to the ICANN Board (27 July 2018): https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/mathias-to-board-27jul1...; Letter from 9 PDP Working Group members to the ICANN Board in response to the UN letter (16 August 2018): https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/igo-ingo-wg-to-icann-bo...; and Letter from a PDP Working Group member to the ICANN Board also responding to the UN letter (16 August 2018): https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/igo-ingo-wg-to-icann-bo....
