I only had a few minutes to review but can dive deep and send comments to the list. Lawrence Olawale-Roberts:has staff considered the possibility of breaking the task into bits where workgroups could be formed to deal with them Marika Konings:@Pascal - recommendation #7 reads 'That Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies engage more deeply with community members whose first language is other than English, as a means to overcoming language barriers.' The implementation plan may look at the different options that would meet the intent of this recommendations, factoring in feasibility as well as budget implications. Donna Austin, RySG:That works for me. When is the meeting in Hyderabad?

Hi Chuck, Thank you very much for the compliments! Thanks also for the point about the numbering. That is easily remedied and we can take care of it in the next draft. Kind regards, Julie From: Chuck Gomes <cgomes(a)verisign.com> Date: Monday, October 17, 2016 at 7:25 PM To: Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund(a)icann.org>, "gnso-review-wg(a)icann.org" <gnso-review-wg(a)icann.org> Subject: RE: [Gnso-review-wg] For Review/Discussion: Strawman Draft Implementation Plan As an observer I want to express my compliments to staff on a nice job. Note that the section numbering probably needs some work. There are two sections numbered 5.2 in Section 3; should the three sections in Section 3 be numbered 3.1, 3.2 & 3.3?

Kind regards, Nathalie ------------------------------- Adobe Connect chat transcript for 6 October 2016 The chat history has been cleared Nathalie Peregrine: Dear all, welcome to the GNSO Review Working Group call on the 6 October 2016 Nathalie Peregrine: Meeting page: https://community.icann.org/x/jRa4Aw Nathalie Peregrine: Rafik Dammak has joined the call Nathalie Peregrine: Mahendra Limaye has joined the audio bridge Lori Schulman: I don't have sound at the moment so my apologies. Once again, this deadline looks too ambitious given the WS2 work and deadlines surrounding that. Heath Dixon: Question: So the dependencies have not already been identified? Julie Hedlund: @Lori: In the ICANN Board resolultion, the GNSO must submit the implementation plan to the Board by December 2016 Lori Schulman: I will report this back to my constituency but this pushing the same pool of volunteers is beginning to wear on me. I apologize for complaining but this a real concern. Julie Hedlund: @Lori: Understood! Volunteer fatigue is a real concern. Heath Dixon: (I put a question in the chat) Heath Dixon: (don't have audio) Heath Dixon: OK. Seems like an important consideration for timing (e.g., if there is a Medium item that is a dependency for a High, then we need to bump it up the queue). What's the timeframe for staff completing that work? Julie Hedlund: @Heath: Staff will work to produce an analysis of dependencies as quickly as possible as a first step. It will be helpful if the WG could provide a deadline/goal for this work. I think we will discuss this today. Heath Dixon: @Julie: Thank you. Marika Konings: as far as I am aware, I don't think the GNSO Review recommendations are structure specific (and neither does the transition create a different structure, it just creates new responsibilities for the GNSO) Marika Konings: the good thing is that Julie is also the main support for the group that is working on possible changes to the Bylaws and GNSO Operating Procedures as a result of the post-transition world, so she will in a unique position to recognise any dependencies :-) Lori Schulman: Agree with Rafik, possibly not a realistic deadline given Hyderabad prep....and all of the time we are spending on Visa applications. :) Rafik: @lori I was also thinking that most of folks here will celebrate thanksgiving too ;) Lori Schulman: Yes, we have several days off in US for Thanksgiving. Rafik: do we have enough members for setting many subgroups? Julie Hedlund: @Lori and Rafik: But the deadline is 21 November to the Council, so before Thanksgiving :-) Heath Dixon: Seems like the only way we can succeed. Lori Schulman: You are killing us. Heath Dixon: That approach makes sense to me. Heath Dixon: Question: Do we have an example of a plan at this high level that we can use as a guide? Lori Schulman: My mid year leadership meeting takes place right after Hyderabad. I will be out commission completely from November 14-19. Lori Schulman: I have back to back conferences between Hyderabad and the deadline. I will let my constituency know. Lori Schulman: If Staff is willing to take the first piece of work that would certainly help us meet the tight deadline. Rafik: lost sounds for some time Lori Schulman: Glad to see my concerns on the slides....guess that are not new. Nathalie Peregrine: Lawrence Olawale Roberts has joined the AC room Lawrence Olawale-Roberts: sorry for joining late couldn't get a good connection until now. I'll follow up Nathalie Peregrine: Pascal Bekono has joined the AC room Pascal Bekono: Hello dear all, sorry Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: sorry I messed the point Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: ...missed... Sara Bockey: I think it would depend on the recommendation(s) Rafik: it depends of the level of effort for each recommendation. Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: I mean I missed what you were saying, Jen. Lori Schulman: this time works perfectly for me Lori Schulman: 3 of those 5 weeks I am on travel -- just fyi Lori Schulman: @Jen = thank you so much for being flexible and understanding this Lawrence Olawale-Roberts: I would like to nominate wolf Ulrich as a co-chair Nathalie Peregrine: Lawrence you are unmuted Lawrence Olawale-Roberts: sorry my quick didn't work Lawrence Olawale-Roberts: audio Lori Schulman: Good first meeting Jen. Thank you! Julie Hedlund: Thanks so much everyone! Lori Schulman: and to staff for doing the first heavy lift Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: Thanks all and bye! Lori Schulman: ciao Sara Bockey: Thanks all.

REMINDER: Vice-Chair Criteria and Volunteers
by Julie Hedlund Oct. 6, 2016

Oct. 6, 2016

Dear GNSO Review WG members, Please note the following action item from this week’s call and the attached criteria: “2. WG members will consider volunteering for the Vice-Chair role (see attached criteria) with a decision to be made at the next meeting.” Per this action item, staff has attached the criteria for Working Group Chairs/Vice Chairs based on the descriptions in the PDP Working Group Guidelines. Staff notes that while these criteria are PDP Working Group specific, they are very similar to what is likely desirable for a Working Group like this one. It would be helpful when volunteering if Working Group members could provide their background and experience as they pertain to these criteria. Kind regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

Actions/Discussion Notes: GNSO Review WG Meeting 06 October
by Julie Hedlund Oct. 6, 2016

Oct. 6, 2016

Dear GNSO Review WG Members, Please see below the discussion notes captured by staff from the meeting on 06 October. These high-level notes are designed to help WG members navigate through the content of the call and are not meant as a substitute for the recording or the transcript. The MP3, transcript, and chat are provided separately and are posted on the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/display/GRWG/2016-10-06+GNSO+Review+Working+Gro…. The slides are attached and also posted to the meeting page on the wiki. In addition, please see the wiki home page for your reference at: https://community.icann.org/display/GRWG/GNSO+Review+Working+Group+Home. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director GNSO Review WG Meeting, 06 October 2016: Actions/Discussion Notes Action Items: 1. WG members should take the Doodle Poll (deadline COB 06 October) to schedule the next call for the week after next. 2. WG members will consider volunteering for the Vice-Chair role (see attached criteria) with a decision to be made at the next meeting. 3. Staff will produce a first draft of the implementation plan, including dependencies between recommendations, prioritization, resource requirements, and possible budget effects, for consideration at the next meeting. 1. Overview and goals: · GNSO volunteer capacity; · Realistic implementation schedule and plan; and · Expected outcomes and measuring results. 2. Timeline/Deadlines: · To GNSO Council by 21 November for 01 December meeting. · GNSO Council must provide to the Board by 31 December 2016. 3. Draft Implementation Plan: Overview, Outline, Considerations Discussion Notes: · Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: How to organize ourselves -- do we need to split up our group, or go on in one group? · Jen Wolfe: Going through each recommendation will be in the implementation phase. · Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: Framework for the plan, and after that could be split up in the implementation. · Heath Dixon: Has work been done on dependencies? · Julie Hedlund (ICANN staff): Some work has been done and staff will build on that to produce something for the WG to review. · Lori Schulman: What is the purpose of this WG? · Jen Wolfe: Take the 34 recommendations that have been approved by the Board and produce a plan to implement them. Between now and November we will just create a plan. This work is organizational, not substantive. · Larisa Gurnick (ICANN staff): Good point. 1) to the extent that there are changes underway that might have an impact on implementation, these could be flagged as the dependencies -- so the work is not contradictory to other work underway; 2) WS 2 -- In the work that staff is doing to support WS 2 such as the sub group on diversity -- we have provided sections of the GNSO Review report and the recommendations that got adopted so that there could be alignment. · Rafik Dammak: We don't have a mandate to change the recommendations from the GNSO Review Working Party and approved by the Board. Now with WS 2, and WS 1 -- there are so many things going on. Are we really aiming to make it by the beginning of December and how? · Jen Wolfe: Thanks for raising that. Recognizing that there are phases to all of the work being done -- with this first piece we are trying to develop a plan to group recommendations in batches and a plan for each batch. There could be a group looking at the implementation of each batch. We want just a macro level plan at this point. We have talked to staff to provide a framework of a plan that we can respond to. · Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: When you look at the prioritization you have high, medium, and low -- and the most are in the agreed, work already underway, agreed with modification. Outline to the OEC on work already underway. · Jen Wolfe: Good point -- batch work already done separately. Agreed and agree with modifications could go together. · Heath Dixon: Do we have an example of a plan at this high level that we could use as a guide? · Jen Wolfe: Need to take it also to the next step of who should do it and how to measure it -- create the basic framework. · Larisa Gurnick (ICANN staff): Another component -- think about resources that would be required to do the work and costs, to be considered for the budget cycle. · Rafik Dammak: In terms of prioritization, we have to prioritize by high, medium, and low. Need to check what is already done. Also dependencies would highlight variances. · Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: The batching is the last step in the discussion. Make a distinction between already agreed and ongoing work. We need to find out where we stand with the orange recommendations and what is still open. Also, what is the impact on resources from staff and budget. Could give a first idea to the OEC. Also about the measurement, but that would come later. · Jen Wolfe: Question -- is there no objection for staff to take a week to provide a draft framework. [No one opposed.] Some questions concerning considerations: o Volunteer capacity to implement improvements -- what to factor in and what would be realistic? o How many recommendations realistic to be tackled in one year? · Heath Dixon: The number depends upon the amount of work to be done for each. Suggest staff should answer some questoins such as who would need to do what. High level estimation -- staff to do? Community to do? # of volunteers? Do we need to collect data before we can move forward? · Lori Schulman: Agree. May be helpful to categorize the batches -- what type of work each recommendation will involve. Combine based on what has to happen. Helpful to know what is based on data that need to be collected. 4. Vice-Chair Volunteers: Set a deadline for the next meeting and resend the criteria.
