The Board could (just as an example) direct staff to (and request appropriate entities to) develop an implementation plan for some or all of the recommendations and execute the plan subject to Board approval.  Part of implementation normally would be conducting financial analysis, analysis of skill-set and resources needed, and assessment of "implementability."  In addition, we usually try to include new activities in community discussions about ICANN’s annual strategic/operational plans and budget (ICANN's fiscal year ends 30 June).
