The RAPWG as a result recommended in its Final Report that 'the GNSO and the larger ICANN community in general, create and support uniform reporting processes'. The GNSO in collaboration with the community and ICANN Contractual Compliance deliberated the issues through due diligence analysis, a review of current state compliance reporting systems, and future state implementation plans within ICANN. Based on the information gathered, the GNSO Council recommended the creation of an </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/uofr-final-31mar13-en.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">Issue Report</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";"> to further research metrics and reporting needs in hopes to better aid the policy development process. The report created by ICANN Staff further outlined accomplishments regarding reporting and metrics for the Contractual Compliance function and it also reviewed other reporting sources that may be of relevance.</span><BR><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">On 9 May 2013, the GNSO Council approved the report's recommendations to await any further action regarding Contractual Compliance metrics and reporting until the conclusion of their three-year plan towards the end of 2013. At such time the GNSO Council will consider other actions, if any. In the meantime, the GNSO Council also adopted the recommendation to form a non-PDP Working Group tasked with exploring opportunities of reporting and metrics recommendations that could better inform policy development via fact-based decision making, where applicable. An availability review of both ICANN internal and external data sources is expected to be performed to help inform the deliberations of the WG.</span><BR><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">More information can be found on the </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/uofr" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">GNSO Metrics & Reporting WG page</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">.</span><BR><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">Comments concerning the layout, construction and functionality of this site should be sent to webmaster [at] gnso.icann.org </span><BR><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">Glen de Saint Géry </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">GNSO Secretariat </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><a href="mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://gnso.icann.org" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";">http://gnso.icann.org</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";"></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p></div></div></div> </div></body>
