WG Members, I wanted to provide you an update with the implementation of the DMPM recommendations since the GNSO Council approved them last October in Dublin. 1) The formal templates for Issue Report, Charter, WG Reports, and Public Comment Review Tool have been deployed: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures a. You will also find within the Charter and WG Report templates the placement of the reusable recommendation to facilitate the use of data and metrics either in issue development or measurement of policy effectiveness after implementation 2) The GNSO Operating procedures (http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-16feb16-en.pdf) have been up updated with: a. The new process (Annex 1, Section 4.5) for requesting Data & Metrics including the request Form; this also includes pointers to the i. The process flow diagram for managing the request: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/dmpm-metrics-request-framework-20jan16-en.p df ii. Hints & Tips page: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/procedures/hints-tips b. Un update to the Products & Outputs (Annex 1, Section 5) with more current and accurate links to prior GNSO work products. Note that once the GNSO completes a full WG cycle, this section will be updated to show use of the new work product templates. IRTP-D was chosen as it contained virtually all work product types developed within the policy process. c. An update to Annex 2, Section 9 that refers to early WG outreach 3) The submission of a FY17 Community Budget Request to help fund the Data & Metrics pilot effort. The requests are yet to be posted on the Community Finance wiki, but the GNSO Council Leadership is aware of the submission as it is formally requested by the GNSO Council (http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg18115.html). a. The above message contains a link with greater details of deliverables of the pilot effort through FY17 b. Staff will provide future updates to this request as the budget process milestones are achieved. c. Staff will continue implementation of the pilot effort and closely facilitate this new request process as requests are created within the SGs/Cs and/or WGs and eventually submitted to the GNSO Council for consideration. Stay tuned and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. B Berry A. Cobb Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers 720.839.5735 mail@berrycobb.com @berrycobb
