All, As we discussed today in regards to the current draft recommendations needing more actionable elements, below are links to the Working Group Guidelines as listed in the GNSO Operating Procedures and GNSO Op Procedures: GNSO Operating Procedures: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-13nov14-en.pdf Refer to Annex 1 (GNSO WG Guidelines) & Annex 2 (Policy Development Process Manual) Annex A of the ICANN Bylaws: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#AnnexA Changes here are out of scope for our WG, but these provisions are at a high enough level that any suggested recommendations (more operational) proposed by DMPM would not affect the bylaws anyhow.
