<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Discussion – we have begun reviewing sections of draft recommendations. What are the next steps?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Work Plan was discussed in the last meeting:
</span></span><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SN8GX1nVER30p_VmX1fAEJUTRLByXhrI96kpdGw8VYk/edit#gid=839727774"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><span style="color:blue">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SN8GX1nVER30p_VmX1fAEJUTRLByXhrI96kpdGw8VYk/edit#gid=839727774</span></span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"></span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Leadership team will start a new document containing revisions for the topics that have been covered on calls so far.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- These will be released in logical batches with material that is related to each other, for example by report segment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- The leadership team would like to adopt procedures that have worked well for the EPDP.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- There will be a template for WG members to comment on revised text. Any future revisions to topics should be of necessity, something that you would “die in a ditch”
for. The template will ask you to quote the language of concern in the report and propose and edit. These comments will be circulated on the mailing list.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Leadership team will put out a note that explains the process in writing.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Question – member brought up concerns about specific meeting dates. What is the status of these? They still appear in the work plan that was sent to Council with
the Project Change Request.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Answer – leadership is still discussing. The Council’s main concern is about the end date for the project and not all of the specific meeting dates. There may still
be adjustments to meetings themselves, including scheduling extended sessions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Leadership team met today with Council leadership team to prepare for the presentation of the Project Change Request to Council during the GNSO Council February
meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Council leadership asked how Council can support the WG. WG leadership said that Councilors can go back to their respective groups and remind those participating
in the WG to be collaborative and work hard towards compromise where this is necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Question regarding first affirmation, does affirming their work in effect make policy?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Answer – that is not the intent. Members can suggest adjustments to the text to make that clear if they would like to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Review of recommendation with revision of Principle B.

<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><b>ACTION ITEM: Change “may want to” to “should” in Implementation Guidance. In the corresponding rationale, change “The Working Group encourages ICANN to. . .” to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- The leadership team further discussed the possibility of re-naming the RSP Pre-Approval Program and is proposing RSP Pre-Evaluation Process (PREP). Some support
expressed on the call.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1"><b>ACTION ITEM: Replace RSP Pre-Approval Program with RSP Pre-Evaluation Process (PREP) throughout the report.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Review of recommendation 8 from 2007 and affirmation with modification of recommendation 7.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Note from the leadership team that we are making a distinction between registry evaluations and registry testing. Registry evaluation includes answers to questions
– it relates to capabilities that cannot be demonstrated until the registry is up and running. Testing is what ICANN does to test certain capabilities of a registry.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- As an example, when we talk about a registry being able to scale, you can’t test scaling capabilities, but you can evaluate the ability to scale by looking at responses
to questions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- Both testing and evaluation could be part of both the pre-evaluation and regular process. Part of what was in PDT will be in the testing that is applied during
the pre-evaluation and regular application process. The recommendations also call for additional testing based on feedback from the SSAC and the Work Track.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK2"><span style="mso-bookmark:OLE_LINK1">- In 2012 there was a theoretical exam and then testing to confirm ability to manage the registry from a technical perspective. The evaluation component is like the
exam and the testing component is the actual demonstration of abilities. Both parts will be part of pre-evaluation and regular evaluation process.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
