Attached, please find that template. I would ask that this template be completed for each individual issue, even for those that have already been shared with the email list or on the Wiki. It is my view that this template will be beneficial in understanding the scope of the issue and the path for resolution, be it a Policy Development Process, guidance to the GDD team, or other. Note, this path for resolution is distinct and separate from creating a solution to the issue, which I would consider beyond the scope of what is to be accomplished by this Discussion Group. A couple of other important elements that the template is attempting to capture is the interdependency with other issues and the priority of the issues.</div><div><br></div><div>Upon completing the templates, please reply and share to the list. I will then post them on the Wiki here (<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/DGNGSR/Issue+Templates">https://community.icann.org/display/DGNGSR/Issue+Templates</a>) in an effort to consolidate the contributions in one central location. I will likely create subpages for each individual issue so that if there are multiple contributions for the same issue, they will be grouped and eventually combined into a single document for the issue, with group agreement that the issue is captured properly. </div><div><br></div><div>Please try to submit your contributions by 22 September 2014.</div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Steven Chan</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br>Sr. Policy Manager<br><br><b>ICANN<br></b>12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536<br><a href="mailto:steve.chan@icann.org" title="blocked::mailto:karen.lettner@icann.org" style="color: blue;">steve.chan@icann.org<br></a><br>direct: +1.310.301.3886<br>mobile: +1.310.339.4410</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">tel: +1.310.301.5800<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">fax: +1.310.823.8649</span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
