Dear Mr. Zhang,<br>
<br>
I understand your suggestion regarding prioritisation is actually
completely correct - but the recommendations themselves have an
equal priority. It is the implementation which might need
prioritisation - and this is based on the resources that ICANN has
to implement the recommendations, not on the importance of the
recommendations themselves.<br>
<br>
In this case, I have full confidence in ICANN Staff being able to
manage and allocate resources which, in some cases might allow for
parallel implementation of some of the recommendations but in others
will involve a critical path that will require serial implementation
and might therefore require prioritisation of tasks when linking it
to dependency of processes.<br>
<br>
Ideally in large corporations, a project management Gantt Chart
would be designed by the implementation Team and optimisation of
such a Chart would be possible when allocating staffing person/time.
A set of milestones would be identified and a calculation of
suitable slack to counteract delays would be effected. Next a risk
analysis would be performed to quantify the risk of project delay.
Costing of such risks would be evaluated and cost-effective
resiliency would be then built in the process delivery of the
project so as to reduce financial exposure.<br>
<br>
In my humble opinion, this is what will determine the order in which
the recommendations will be implemented.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
