Dear WS2 CCG colleagues,

I trust this email finds you well.

I would like to follow up on the “sequence of work” item discussed during the CCG call on 5 April 2022.

The GNSO Council has tasked its CCOICI (Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing Continuous Improvement) to tackle WS2 implementation related tasks. One of the tasks is to rank WS2 Recommendation 1 (Diversity), Recommendation 2.3 (Standalone Framework for Exercising Empowered Community Powers), and Recommendation 3 (Human Rights Framework) based on priority levels from GNSO Council’s perspective. The result may help inform CCG’s consideration for the sequence of work.

CCOICI members conducted a poll for ranking the three WS2 recommendations. As a result, from the GNSO Council’s perspective:

• Recommendation 1 (Diversity) is deemed to have the highest priority,
• Recommendation 3 (Human Rights Framework) medium priority, and
• Recommendation 2.3 (Standalone Framework for Exercising Empowered Community Powers) lowest priority.

In other words, from GNSO Council’s perspective, the CCG should tackle Recommendation 1 first, Recommendation 3 next, and Recommendation 2.3 last.

The result of GNSO Council’s priority ranking does not conflict with the preliminary agreement by the CCG to begin discussions with Recommendation 1.1 (Diversity Elements).

In the case you have any question or doubt please let me know.

Best Regards,

Olga Cavalli

GNSO Council Representative at CCG
