Sent on behalf of the Review of Reviews Cross Community Group Co-Chairs

 

Dear SO/AC Leaders,

 

On behalf of the Review of Reviews Cross-Community Group (Reviews CCG), we are pleased to share with you an Initial Draft Report that builds upon the input received in response to our previously circulated outline document, as well as the continued collaborative efforts to develop a refreshed reviews system.

 

This draft is the result of active engagement with both members and observers who have participated in the discussions. Their contributions have been instrumental in shaping the current document.  This report highlights some areas where additional details will continue to be worked out in the Cross-Community Group’s continued deliberations, and also includes linked references to recent comments pointing to some areas in which the Reviews CCG is actively engaged and which are particularly relevant for discussion at ICANN86.

 

In our blog Draft Principles to Enable the Evolution of ICANN Reviews that was released yesterday, we set out the draft guiding principles from our phase one discussions.

 

The Reviews CCG will hold a public session on Monday, 8 June to continue sharing the work in progress and gathering feedback.  We welcome your attendance and encourage you to share this report with your respective groups.  We aim to incorporate the feedback received in a Draft Report to be published for public comment following the ICANN86 meeting.

 

Thank you in advance for your engagement and continued support. We look forward to your valuable input to ensure the proposed system is fit for purpose, viable for all stakeholders, and addresses known challenges as articulated in our charter.
