<br>
Thanks for your quedtions/comments.<br>
<br>
ll organizational reviews start with the procurement by ICANN org of an "Independence" expert, which normally starts with a questionnaire to all parties, based in which the recommendations are developed. <br>
<br>
Then a very long discussion/implementation cycle starts. In the case of the GNSO 4 years. In the case of ALAC a protracted fight to disqualify all or most recommendations.<br>
<br>
The idea is to turn around the tortilla. Let the So/ACs leaderships think first about there bottlenecks and limitations. Let them choose the type of independent advice they need and write the specs. Then make better use of this external expertise, and instead of a protracted reoltuon of old conflicts, use them for a forward looking startegy.<br>
<br>
Just like the Council leadership has been doing in our case since the LA meeting.<br>
<br>
We have done in a few months much more progress that the GNSO Review in 4 years!!!! It would be great if the resources of the organizational reviews could be used in this very efficient manner present GNSO council leadership has managed us through an invite project list and new arising issues.<br>
<br>
If the recommendation could be focused in that direction please feel free to edit as you wish. It should be a common effort.<br>
<br>
Have a nice Sunday or beginning of your week.<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of Carlos and I, please find attached for your consideration, our proposed draft response to ICANN’s Long-Term Options to Adjust the Timeline of Reviews that was posted for public comment until 31 July 2018.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please note that I have also asked Julie Hedlund to share the proposed comments with the GNSO Review Team for consideration. As most of you know, the Review Team is finalizing what has been a 4+ years effort, and I believe it would be timely
to be able to capture any comments they may wish to make regarding Organisational Reviews. The Review Team is meeting tomorrow and we hope to have comments back from them by Friday.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With regard to the Short Term Options to Adjust the Timeline for Specific Reviews, please consider the options available at the following link and respond to the list regarding preferences.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect that it may not be possible for the Council to submit a comment on the Short-Term Options as I am already aware that the RySG will be supporting Option B, which is at odds with the views expressed by Ayden during out last Council
call.<u></u><u></u></p>
