<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

I would like to share with you:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">As to the day-to-day cooperation, I feel that the contacts between the leadership groups of the GNSO and
the GAC could be further strengthened, providing for periodic conference calls and meetings where pressing issues could be debated, inviting if needed the corresponding “topic leads” in both constituencies, and also a regular revision and follow-up of the
collaboration could be discussed. E.g., probably it would be sensible to recommend to have periodic calls to discuss pressing issues where a certain coordination would help both constituencies – for instance every month as a basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">Regarding recommendation 4 I tend to disagree a bit with the seemingly implied idea that current levels
of engagement from the GAC are such that no further mechanisms would be needed. If we look at the three big PDPs which are ongoing (PDP on subsequent procedures; PDP on review of protection mechanisms; PDP on registry directory services) we see that participation
from the GAC in the first two ones is largely on an individual basis and in the third one participation is led by our PSWG. Therefore, I feel that further thought might be warranted on how to better structure the interaction between the GAC and the GNSO beyond
the initial phases covered by the “quick look mechanism”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">This may be an issue for the GAC itself to tackle, but perhaps a clearer feedback from the GNSO to GAC
inputs into the PDP process could help to keep up the dialogue in a structured way. In this regard, my feeling is that after submitting GAC responses to the GNSO it is a bit hard to know how and to what degree they are taken into account in the GNSO PDP processes.
For instance, we could recommend a feedback mechanism regarding GAC inputs to GNSO processes (this could for instance take a similar form to the “GNSO review of the GAC Commmunique”).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">In addition, we could include in the recommendations some wording inviting GAC to strengthen its participation
in later stages of PDPs and we could also suggest that this issue is reviewed from time to time by the leaderships of both constituencies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">Regarding recommendation 5 I’m not sure whether we should not still give some further thinking to possible
ways to conciliate between GAC and GNSO if differences of opinion arise in the concluding stages of a PDP. This could take place before a final decision is taken by the GNSO. For instance, it seems to me that a joint teleconference before the GNSO took its
final decision on the PPSAI could have helped to understand each other’s’ concerns better.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">As to recommendation 6 I’m a bit unclear to what “preliminary recommendations” it refers. Perhaps it would
be good to quote/transcribe or link to them in a footnote, for ease of reference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

closer interaction between GAC and GNSO leadership teams would help and serve as an appropriate follow-up mechanism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#1F4E79;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Following the last CG update to the GNSO and GAC at ICANN57, staff has worked with the CG leadership team and developed the attached ‘draft final status update and recommendations’ document for
your review. This document provides an overview of the achievements to date as well as reviews the outstanding items in conjunction with proposed recommendations to close these items out taking into account the input received in response to the survey. The
objective is to deliver this final status update to the GNSO and GAC ahead of ICANN57 to allow for review and discussion and possibly adoption of the recommendations and closure of the CG during ICANN57. As such you are encouraged to review this document and
share any comments / edits you may have on the mailing list. In parallel we’ll go ahead and circulate a doodle poll with the aim to schedule a CG meeting in the week of 26 September to review and discussion any input received.
