Hi Lars and all IRT Team Members, Further to our discussion this past Tuesday, I am pasting below the language from Council's Response to the ICANN Staff Sub Pro ODP team in relation to the effect of Implementation Guidance. This is from the GNSO Council Response to Question Set #6 (not #4 as I had thought.) Hopefully this Response from Council is helpful generally on the topic of variation from Implementation Guidance. "In short, implementation guidance remains a strong recommendation as opposed to a requirement. As referenced in the Preamble to the Sub Pro Final Report, ICANN should specify any “circumstances where there may be valid reasons not to take such guidance exactly as described…” In such circumstances, Council believes that consultation with the IRT, the Guidance Process Team, or the Council itself (e.g. via a request for GNSO Input) is in order prior to the adoption of alternatives to the specified Implementation Guidance. In all cases, the implementation should be accomplished in a manner that achieves the objectives laid out in the implementation guidance even if the mechanism of implementation differs slightly from that contained in the final report." Thank you, Anne Anne Aikman-Scalese GNSO Councilor NomCom Non-Voting 2022-2024 anneicanngnso@gmail.com On Wed, Jan 24, 2024 at 7:15 AM Next Round Policy Implementation < NextRound_PolicyImplementation@icann.org> wrote:
