Google Docs for Board Readiness
Hello Board Readiness Small Team, As requested, I have made a google doc for the findings and the recommendations. All of the documents can be found in the Draft Report folder of the Board Readiness google drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NqqklKsOg3sGMLf7uB2AG_4UrZFwqo_U?usp... First, we have the objectives, methodology, questions, and interview list here (a new link than the one distributed during the call in chat): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l8Eb9frc8A7sw-_zKyLVkoepyABLPLME7EKIYcyu... Second, we have the draft findings document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ARNvNcIe6LmbgKoTPQMxvdOHHSPJf-Vb9pfiR-Gw... Third, we have the draft recommendations document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1923YYdzQZZyIEkp7WdW608LCKskhAx_lCBOnLYwn... I have also taken the action item to reach out to the interviewees to determine if they want their name redacted from the report, reiterating that the recording and notes will not be included. All the best, John R. Emery, Ph.D. Policy Development Support Senior Specialist Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org>
Thanks, John. Everyone else: I hope you do not mind that I reiterate that I am not looking for edits, but rather comments: should things be rearranges; is a recommendation off in some way; should there be a reordering; there is too much/little explanation for something. So please focus on the big picture and provide input regarding what would make the report meaningful and clear. (I just happened to read an article describing why the author hates google docs because of the urge readers have to focus on minutiae rather then substance.) On recommendations regarding team composition, I think it is best to point out factors of different models that might result in Board Readiness / Unreadiness. Thanks for listening, Best regards, Kurt On 21 Aug 2025, at 1:25 am, John Emery via Gnso-board-readiness-smallteam <gnso-board-readiness-smallteam@icann.org> wrote: Hello Board Readiness Small Team, As requested, I have made a google doc for the findings and the recommendations.

Hi John: I made some edits & comments to the first doc (methodology) and my laptop says it is “saving,” not “saved.” Can you check to see if the changes were made to the online doc? If not saved, I will send you a clean copy of the newer version.

Hi Everyone: Good news and bad news. I have edited the Findings doc, trying to improve sentence structure and clarity. The bad news is that, when looking at the Google doc, I saw that some of the formatting (of bullets) was off - as so often happens when converting a Word doc to a google thingee. Rather than wrestle with that, I used my original document and edited it. It is attached. To make it more confusing, the initial additions I made last week (to add the SubPro material) is in red font, while my latest changes are in whatever colour your computer assigns. Maybe it is better to start with a clean document if we are making a new google doc. With that in mind, I have included redline and clean versions. Please read this.
