I have been thinking about the SSR1-related discussion on the team call last week. To avoid opening the SSR1 appendix back up, I am thinking that we could change Recommendation 1 to be VERY specific. Yes, I am aware that this suggestion is at odds with the ICANN SME plea that we "over engineer" our recommendations. However, this suggestion does provide a clear way for SSR3 to measure our first recommendation. I suggest that we structure the recommendation like this: Finish implementing SSR1 recommendations by: - Rec 1: Do X - Rec 2: Do Y ... - Rec 9: See SSR2 Rec 2 - Rec 10: Do ... - Rec 11: Do ... - Rec 12: See SSR2 Rec 3 ... - Rec 20: See SSR2 Rec 4 ... - Rec 26: (No further action needed) - Rec 27: See SSR2 Rec 5 - Rec 28: Do Z This approach tells the ICANN staff what we looked for and did not find, yet it would avoid reopening the appendix. What do you think? Russ
