Please review the first 5 SSR1 recommendations for the call tomorrow
by Russ Housley Oct. 10, 2018

Oct. 10, 2018

As part of the agenda for tomorrow, we will be looking over the SSR1 recommendations. We will take them each in turn. I doubt we will get through more that five on the call tomorrow, so if you are prepared to talk about the first five, that should be adequate preparation. The Bylaws are pretty clear about our task regarding the SSR1 recommendations. Section 4.6 (c) (iv) The SSR Review Team shall also assess the extent to which prior SSR Review recommendations have been implemented and the extent to which implementation of such recommendations has resulted in the intended effect. At the face-to-face meeting in Washington, I shared a way of thinking about this task. I repeat it here in the hopes it will be easier to prepare for tomorrow's call. Was there an attempt to implement the recommendation? (In all cases, the answer is "yes") Is the recommendation still relevant today? If not, write a short statement saying that it has been overcome by events. If so, assess whether the implementation has the intended effect. If so, write a short statement saying so. if not, is this something we want to see more work on? If so, write an SSR2 recommendation about it. If not, write a short statement with the reason. I look forward to our call tomorrow. Russ

Hi Denise, Please see the responses to your questions and requests below. 1. We are working with SMEs to get the answers to the questions as quickly as possible. Some of the answers have been provided already, and inserted into the Google sheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lFKb5ghbhQgl2klzQChHWT8_Y4WfTL21J9Q…>. The expected delivery dates and answers are being populated into the Google sheet directly once we have this information from the SMEs. 2. We will follow this up and provide additional answers and more specific links where they are available. 3. Noted, and we will do this going forward. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or comments. Best, Jennifer From: Ssr2-review <ssr2-review-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Denise Michel <denisemichel(a)fb.com> Date: Thursday, September 20, 2018 at 4:45 PM To: SSR2 <ssr2-review(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ssr2-review] Q&As Dear staff: I have a couple requests and questions relating to Q&As<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lFKb5ghbhQgl2klzQChHWT8_Y4WfTL21J9Q….>. 1. When can we expect answers, or an ETA for answers, for outstanding questions? In particular, can we have answers relevant to Recs 1-5 before our next call? 2. In reviewing the answers that have been provided, I see that several answers re-state what was said in the briefing related to the recommendation. While I appreciate the summary (rather than just a link to a meeting recording), the questions were follow-ups to the briefings (note the dates; in some cases the briefings were the genesis for the questions). In addition to referencing statements in the briefings, would you please ask relevant staff to consider the questions and whether more specific answers (with links) could be provided? 3. It would be useful if you would please include relevant Q&As in the material you provide the team in advance of our calls addressing recommendations. Thank you.

Engagement session
by Jennifer Bryce Sept. 27, 2018

Sept. 27, 2018

Dear SSR2 Review Team, I’m passing on a specific question that was asked by GNSO Council leadership: “I understand the challenges associated with finding non-conflicted sessions in Barcelona, but 0900 on what we know as Constituency Day is far from ideal. Is there any reason why the engagement session can’t be done as a webinar after the ICANN meeting? This will likely result in a larger more engaged audience.” We shared this information during the leadership call on Monday, and, as discussed then, are working with the meetings team to see if there is another time for the engagement session.
