<p class=MsoNormal>3. Support Teams<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Even if the size of the review teams is expanded per the
above, managing all the work envisaged over extended time periods will be very
challenging. As such, it is reasonable to expect that there will be instances
where some task-specific support may be needed, e.g. with data collection, that
would impose a substantial burden on both team members and the staff. One way
of addressing these challenges would be to constitute a support team for each
review that can be turned to for targeted assistance. <b>The review</b> teams
could draw <b>such teams – but not exclusively</b> - from the pools of
nominees that were not selected for review team membership. If those pools were
not sufficiently robust or did not offer the specialized expertise needed, the
SO/ACs could suggest additional names for consideration by the <b>review teams.<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>Create an Issues Report: requires an

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE>Approve a PDP Recommendation Imposing New

presence of a consensus, the GNSO Supermajority vote threshold will have to be
met or exceeded with respect to any contracting party affected by such contract
provision. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
