Multiple questions on proposed timeline for CIP: Noted that the work on CIP is still pending further guidance from ICANN org/CIP-CCG as they are still amid setting up the Program – this is the main reason for separating the CIP work within SCCI into 2 parts; Part 1 is to start/stabilize the work (pre-work) and Part 2 is to finalize everything when the ICANN org provides further guidance. A 2-week timeline is suggested to review the Criteria so as not to forget the work and lag behind but there is no urgency either to this work and can be extended if necessary. For SCCI, while the beginning of CIP Part 1 is being worked on with SG/Cs, the P&I PSR work will proceed – this does not indicate an overlap of work but working on a different project while waiting on another.
A suggestion was made on procedural matters when collecting feedback for CIP Criteria to have a point person from each SG/C to provide comments per SG/C. Noted that each SG/C should take this suggestion into consideration but leaving the method at the discretion of each SG/C.
Question on clarification of CIP Part 1 work and what was decided during Meeting #1: Noted that Leadership is suggesting a new approach to take a step back rather than moving too fast, as suggested in Meeting #1. As this work is pending guidance from ICANN org, the new approach is not to review Indicators yet but to focus on Criteria as shared in the google doc., as this has not been finalized yet either.

A suggestion was made to encourage future PDPs keep the scope of work more focused and reasonable to make the process more smooth, concise, and effective. Noted that a focused scope is crucial and what we should aim to move towards.
Another suggestion was made for the SCCI Team to consider the distinction between PDPs and EPDPs as it prepares for work on the review of PDP 3.0.
Clarification on the limited scope of GGP was provided, which was intentional to stay away from policymaking – need further discussions moving forward.
Clarification was provided on the P&I PSR that the Staff recommendations are non-binding and the requirement for SCCI is to understand and evaluate them while also considering the impact for change (e.g., the change may require change into bylaws; EPDP, GGP, GIP are all stated in the bylaws)

Noted that the assignment forms for each project will be shared with the SCCI Team via mailing list before submitting to Council for confirmation during the April Council Meeting.
Next week’s SCCI Meeting will continue with P&I PSR review, exploring recommendations for EPDP first.
