Board resolution, “recognizing that the Board has the obligation and responsibility to balance the work of ICANN in order to preserve the ability for ICANN
<span class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> to serve its Mission and the public interest, the Board decided on three categories of action”:</span></p><ul style="margin-top:.0px;"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Accepting recommendations, subject to costing and implementation considerations;</span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Placing recommendations (in whole or in part) in "Pending" status, directing ICANN
<span class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> to perform specific actions to enable the Board to take further actions;</span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Passing recommendations (in whole or in part) to community groups the CCT-RT identified for their consideration. The Board noted fourteen such recommendations (9, 10, 12, 16,

the groups they are addressed to. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Accordingly, ICANN
<span class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> wishes to notify you of the recommendations the ICANN Board resolved to pass through to you, in whole or in part, for your consideration:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;"> </span></p><ul style="margin-top:.0px;"><li class="MsoNormal"><b ><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Recommendation 10</span></b><span style="font-size:15.0px;">.
</span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><b ><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Recommendation 16 (in part)</span></b><span style="font-size:15.0px;"> Note: this recommendation was also passed through to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG, Registries
Stakeholder Group, Registrar Stakeholder Group, Generic Names Supporting Organization, Second Security, Stability & Resiliency of DNS Review Team as suggested by the CCT-RT. In the scorecard, the Board noted that “it is not accepting the policy directives
that may be inherent here but rather, passes on such elements of the recommendation to the relevant community groups to consider”.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><b ><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Recommendation 27</span></b><span style="font-size:15.0px;">.
</span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><b ><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Recommendation 28</span></b><span style="font-size:15.0px;">.
</span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><b ><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Recommendation 29</span></b><span style="font-size:15.0px;">. Note: this recommendation was also passed through to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG, as suggested
by the CCT-RT. To inform work relating to recommendations 29 and 30, the ICANN Board suggested that the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG could take on, “should they choose to do so, defining the term ‘Global South’ or agreeing on another term to describe
<span class="spellcheck_typo">underserved</span> or underrepresented regions or stakeholders in coordination with ICANN
<span class="spellcheck_typo">org</span>”<i >.</i></span></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;">We would like to highlight the following language of the Board resolution: “in passing these recommendations through, the Board is neither accepting, nor rejecting the recommendations. […] Passing recommendations
through to community groups is not a directive that the groups identified should formally address any of the issues within those recommendations. It is within the purview of each group to identify whether work will be taken on and the topics that the group
will address”<i >.</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;">As indicated in the resolution, the Board encourages community groups to be “mindful of any interdependencies with ongoing work and discussions”. Additionally,the Board suggests “to the referenced community
groups that the CCT-<span class="spellcheck_typo">RT's</span> proposed priority levels be taken into account as the groups decide whether, how and when to address the CCT-RT recommendations that are being passed through […]”<i >.</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Additionally, we would like to flag the Board suggestion that for transparency purposes, “it would be helpful to have records or reporting made available to the ICANN community on how the community group considered
the items coming out of the CCT-RT. The Board encourages any level of reporting that the groups are able to provide as the ICANN
<span class="spellcheck_typo">org</span> and Board track action on the CCT-<span class="spellcheck_typo">RT's</span> recommendations”. Please consider providing updates on your progress in addressing (as appropriate) these recommendations, to be included with
ICANN <span class="spellcheck_typo">org’s</span> reporting.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b ><u ><span style="font-size:15.0px;">Background</span></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0px;">The Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) released its Final Report on 8 September 2018 – see
