Consensus Playbook Published
Originated from GNSO’s Policy Development Process (PDP) 3.0 initiative
and a subsequent Additional Budget Request (ABR), the Consensus
Playbook has been completed for the ICANN community to reference and
use. The Consensus Playbook can be downloaded here:
http://go.icann.org/consensus
This playbook was developed by an external vendor (Consensus Building
Institute - CBI.org) via an
Additional Budget Request
(ABR) for FY20 submitted by the GNSO Council, based on
PDP 3.0 improvements. The
ICANN Board approved
the ABR contingent upon the playbook being developed with broad
applicability across the community, and not just limited to GNSO
PDPs. Hence, this Consensus Playbook aims to provide community
volunteers with practical tools and best practices for building
consensus, bridging differences, and breaking deadlocks within ICANN
processes beyond just GNSO working groups. In developing the playbook,
CBI interviewed fourteen (14) ICANN community leaders across ICANN’s SOs
and ACs, who shared their extensive consensus building experience in
leading and participating in working groups and community
groups.
The playbook stresses that consensus building should be considered as a
journey and it does not just take place at the end of a group’s
deliberations. To that end, we’d like to draw your attention to Appendix
A, which serves as a reference guide to help inform you which of the
fifteen (15) “plays” are applicable to the various phases of the
community’s work.
It is important to note that this playbook does not seek to change the
definition of consensus or the methods of decision making as prescribed
in each community group’s rules and procedure; it does not seek to
introduce any new requirements either. It is designed for the ICANN
community and is only permitted to be used by the ICANN community in
support of ICANN related work. The playbook shall not be used for any
non-ICANN related purposes.
All ICANN community volunteers are strongly encouraged to review the
playbook. We anticipate additional opportunities for the ICANN community
to discuss the contents and practical utility of the playbook.
