<DIV>I agree with James. The step the council is asked to take is to adopt the
way of handling the recommendations (reject, accept with modifications, accept,
plus prioritize).</DIV>
<DIV>On the Working Party there was broad representation from all SGs/Cs (see <A
title=https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/Working+Party+Members
href="https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/Working+Party+Members">https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/Working+Party+Members</A>)
to ensure their opinion is covered by the WP output.</DIV>
<DIV>I’m sure that during the elaboration of an implementation plan as well as
throughout the implementation phase itself clarifications are to be done in
several areas (as usual in such projects). And opportunities shall be
provided to the GNSO stakeholders and the council to step into the discussion at
various points, including public comments etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As James points out we should focus on the feasibility or priority assigned
by the Working Party and flag related concerns.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Paul -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In fact, I had the exact same question during the call: Are we
(Council) planning a vote on each recommendations individually, or is this
report an all-or-nothing package?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The correct answer, is that the Council is not voting on the
recommendations themselves, but on the adoption GNSO Review Working Party’s
analysis of the feasibility and priority of the recommendations made by West
Lake. I believe this distinction is captured in the language of
Wolf-Ulrich’s motion, but if it needs to be clarified we should prepare some
friendly amendments. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Working Party has said that they are open to concerns or edits from
Council and others in the GNSO to address concerns raised during today’s call,
including your observations about privacy and other open issues (e.g.
Definitions, etc.). There will also be a separate phase to develop an
implementation plan, following the Board has considered the Feasibility &
Priority assessment. The GNSO (Council/SGs/Cs) will be involved in that,
and the Council will approve that plane. We need to make sure any
implementation issues are in that phase.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But if you or any other Councilors have concerns about the feasibility or
priority assigned by the Working Party, please get those flagged to the list as
soon as possible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">James, as you heard on the call
today, the GNSO Review recommendations raised a lot of unanswered
questions. Not to raise memories of Marrakech, but will the Council’s vote
on Thursday be an up or down on all the recommendations or will each
recommendation have its own vote? Or, is it also possible that Council
could send these back to the Working Party and ask them to refine them a bit
more to address certain questions, like the privacy issues raised? Thanks
in advance for your thoughts.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

of ICANN's Bylaws-mandated periodic review of its structures, the ICANN Board's
Structural Improvements Committee (now known as the Organizational Effectiveness
Committee) appointed Westlake Governance as the independent examiner to conduct
the current review of the performance and operations of the GNSO. A GNSO Working
Party, chaired by former Councillor Jennifer Wolfe and comprising
representatives of all the GNSO's Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, was
formed to consult with Westlake over the design and conduct of the review.
Westlake's Draft Report was <A
href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-review-draft-2015-06-01-en">published</A>
for public comment on 1 June 2015. Following feedback received, including from
the GNSO Working Party, Westlake published its <A
href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gnso-review-final-15sep15-en.pdf">Final
Report</A> on 15 September. The Working Party reviewed all the recommendations
to develop guidance for the GNSO Council and ICANN Board in relation to the
implementability and prioritization of the recommendations. The Council received
a <A

concerning the focus, duration and meeting schedule for the first designated
ICANN Policy Forum, to take place in Helsinki as ICANN56 (i.e. the initial

time for actual policy work in the overall Meeting B schedule when all the
current draft SO/AC/Board proposals were put together, and about the lack of
opportunity for different SO/AC/Board groups to interact with one another. A
small group of SO/AC volunteers has been formed to address these concerns.
