·     If any, what suggestions would you have to enhance ICANN’s effectiveness and efficiency with regards to the process of implementation after adoption of a PDP or Review recommendations?

Please submit your topic of interest and/or questions to board-ops-team@icann.org no later than Friday, 18 February 2022.
