Dear All, As discussed during today’s meeting, please find attached the proposed changes to the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF). As noted, As noted Point H of the CPIF directs “ICANN staff [to] continually review the implementation framework and related materials to encapsulate additional best-practices or to adjust the steps as a result of lessons learned with previous Consensus Policy projects,”. A cross-functional group of representatives from ICANN’s GDD and GNSO Policy Development Support teams have reviewed the Framework, and are proposing a number of amendments to it for the consideration of the GNSO Council (see attached). As noted, these changes are intended to further clarify and detail some of the steps of the CPIF – these are not changes to any existing processes, procedures or the original Policy & Implementation WG recommendations. Donna referred to a slide deck that was used for the update that was provided for the April Council meeting but those slides (attached here) actually refer to another part of this effort that we are still looking for input on which is the Post-Implementation Consensus Policy Review Framework. With regards to the CPIF, please let staff know if you have any concerns about this updated version being posted by 31 July. We will try to identify another opportunity to further discussion the Post-Implementation Consensus Policy Review Framework (for those interested, a survey was opened a while back, but to date only one Council members has responded: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/postimplreview). I’ve also copied Brian and Karen from GDD who should be able to answer any further questions you may have. Best regards, Marika
