[gnso-review-dt] GNSO Review Follow up from ICANN53

[Larisa B. Gurnick]

Dear members of the GNSO Review Working Party,

As ICANN53 is about to wrap up, staff would like to summarize key accomplishments and next steps.  We thank you for your continued efforts and hard work to bring the GNSO Review to a productive conclusion.

Accomplishments

*         Westlake Governance participated in 8 meetings pertaining to the GNSO Review at ICANN53 - briefings for the GNSO Council, Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies as well as a working session of the GNSO Review Working Party.

*         Westlake received feedback on its Draft Recommendations and Report.

*         Working Party, Westlake and staff engaged with the community to encourage submission of comments by the closing date of 20 July.  Communications also included Jen's blog<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/gnso-review-draft-report-posted-for-public-comment-provide-your-feedback-and-make-your-voice-heard>, Westlake's video<https://youtu.be/edlstsoVCaM> and social media support.

*         Working Party began discussions and started making plans for preliminary assessment of draft recommendations and prioritization of improvement plans.

Next Steps

1.      Consider feasibility and usefulness of 36 Recommendations - attached is a spreadsheet discussed during the Working Party Meeting on 23 June, to facilitate this consideration.  This process can begin immediately. Staff will develop an input mechanism on the GNSO Review wiki to capture community and staff inputs.

2.      Hold a Working Party call to consider community comments and prioritize draft recommendations - Doodle poll will be launched early next week for the next GNSO Review Working Party meeting to take place during the last week in July or first week in August.

3.      Summarize comments - staff will provide a summary by 28 July, which will cover formal responses to the Public Comment forum as well as verbal  feedback collected during the ICANN53 sessions.
