<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">There you say that “</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">any formal input received by PDP WGs will be reviewed and is documented in the form of a public comment review tool. In that
tool, the WG will document the perspectives of the WG on the input provided as well as what changes/updates, if any, were made in response”.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">While I think this is important and a good basis, first, I’m not sure whether this is always made for all formal communications from the GAC referring to an ongoing PDP, and second, probably the reaction from
the GNSO PDP WG risks being lost in the flood of information being produced and may escape the attention of the GAC. Therefore, I would recommend that such a feedback is singled out, reviewed by the GNSO in order to add/provide context as appropriate, and
communicated directly to the GAC through its Secretariat. This would help GAC to keep track of the effectiveness of its comments and would facilitate an ongoing dialogue with GNSO.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you Jorge for your feedback. I have taken the liberty to respond to one of your points below.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As a general point, it might be helpful if you and others can separate out which items may require formal processes and which ones are more of an informal nature. The PDP allows for a lot of flexibility and
as such it does not prevent or prohibit additional dialogue and/or discussions with the GAC. As such, it may be worth including an additional recommendation that would remind both the GNSO and the GAC of the flexible nature of the GNSO PDP and encourage both
groups to take advantage of this characteristic to allow for additional discussion / engagement if/when needed? If any of these or other suggestions are expected to result in formal processes, these would need to be framed as such.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">Dear all </span>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">After a read-through of the draft final report and its recommendations some issues come to my mind which I would like to share with you:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">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”.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">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 style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">[MK: any formal input received by PDP WGs will be reviewed and is documented in the form of a public comment review tool. In that tool, the WG will document the perspectives of the WG on the input
provided as well as what changes/updates, if any, were made in response. See for example the comment review tool concerning outreach message #1 of the RDS PDP WG to which the GAC responded:

<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">And finally, regarding recommendation 7, I feel that, as said above, we could stress a bit more that a closer interaction between GAC and GNSO leadership teams would help and serve as an appropriate
follow-up mechanism.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

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.
