Dear Work Stream 1 members, a large MS Excel document was provided in response to the questions which we have asked Staff concerning the implementation of ATRT1 recommendations. Staff input Document <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41880363/Consolidated+Respo...> Whilst this document contains a wealth of information, many of us, myself included, have found the document somehow hard to navigate. As a result, a first step was for Staff to divide the document according to the WS1 sub-streams (a-d). * 9.1(a) the relevant staff answers to questions <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41887587/WS+1+%289.1a%29+Co...> * 9.1(b) the relevant staff answers to questions <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41887587/WS+1+%289.1b%29+Co...> * 9.1(c) the relevant staff answers to questions <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41887587/WS+1+%289.1c%29+Co...> * 9.1(d) the relevant staff answers to questions <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41887587/WS+1+%289.1d%29+Co...> This was still hard to follow because the number of columns still made it impossible for the document to be printed or read without needing to scroll across a line in addition to pagination - thus impossible to be absorbed easily. I figured that at this stage, whilst all information supplied by staff is very useful, we wanted to be able to determine more easily what information was pertinent to our immediate needs: the focussing on finding: * if more information is needed on a particular subject and * the identification of those questions we might decide to pursue further due to an incomplete or unsatisfactory implementation, or * an implementation that raised new potential issues or opened new doors to our analysis. As a result, some of the questions the ATRT2 group asked looked more pertinent for our immediate needs than others that would be of use only if we focussed on a particular ATRT1 recommendation. I am suggesting those more pertinent questions in red on this WIKI page: https://community.icann.org/display/ATRT2/Work+Stream+1+Questions+about+ATRT... Taking each segment of the sub-streams ExCel document in turn and only keeping the pertinent columns, we end up with a document which, although printed in a small font, is still readable and can be printed - so we can all read through out respective sections on the flight, if we want. 9.1(a) WS1 9.1(a) staff answers Summary <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41896058/WS1+%289.1a%29+Sum...> 9.1(b) WS1 9.1(b) staff answers Summary <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41896058/WS+1+%289.1b%29+Su...> 9.1(c) WS1 9.1(c) staff answers Summary <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41896058/WS+1+%289.1c%29+Su...> 9.1(d) WS1 9.1(d) staff answers Summary <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/41896058/WS+1+%289.1d%29+Su...> In 9.1(a) I have also started to colour the boxes as a suggestion for us to get pertinent information to stand out. Colour is a great way to help us focus & immediately realise where our priorities are likely to be. Colours I have used are: * yellow/amber background: something that appears incomplete and needs to be investigated * purple/pink background: something of interest that points to a general document (in fact, mostly two external documents are often referred to, that's: o http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability/atrt-project-list-workp... o http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/accountability/atrt-implementation-rep... o (it is worth noting that for ease of navigation, I would probably prefer a pointer to the correct page of the general document rather than a pointer to the document as a whole.) * red writing: something of special interest if a follow-up recommendation was to be made by ATRT2 Suggested colours: * Red background: critical shortfall of the ATRT1 recommendation cycle of implementation that needs to be investigated and analysed by ATRT2 * Green background: to be added at the end of lines where there appears to be no more work needed from ATRT2 - recommendation fully implemented and no more work desired I guess we could make use of more colours but let's start with only a few and see if that helps us grasp the data with more ease. Please be so kind to look at these documents and let me know if these are more helpful. They are all in MS Excel format. If you'd rather have a PDF copy, I'd be happy to upload it too. *Downloading of complete Web Site Repository* I am mindful of a question that was asked in the previous conference call, whether all documents to be read could be downloaded to a disk or a USB key since most of us will be in the air for quite a few hours and could make use of that airtime to catch up on our reading. I am currently testing a couple of free softwares, but they don't work too well with the Confluence WIKI. Could Staff please ask ICANN IT dept. if they know of a good piece of software that could perform this and allow us to go through the WIKI pages and all attached documents stored there, offline? Kind regards, Olivier
