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?
