<p class="MsoNormal">Dear GNSO Review Working Party,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Members of the GNSO Review Working Party who participated in last week’s call made significant progress and invite any other members of the
<b>Working Party to provide feedback on its Report “Feasibility Assessment and Prioritization of Recommendations” by close of business on 24 February.
</b>This is in preparation for submitting the attached report to the GNSO Council for consideration at the 9 March meeting. We will schedule a tentative call from 16:00-17:00 UTC on 25 February to discuss the feedback from the Working Party, should it be needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The attached document contains two worksheets (and is also available on the
<a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56138570">wiki</a>): the first worksheet is the Executive Summary, the second worksheet sorts the recommendations based on the Working Party’s evaluation of several criteria:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>Ease or difficulty of implementation<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">

<![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>Whether it is aligned with the strategic direction of the GNSO<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>Whether it impacts existing work or other work<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Working Party categorized each of the recommendations in two parts. Part One addressed whether the group agreed with the recommendation of the independent examiner (13 recommendations), did not agree (3 recommendations), agreed with
modifications (6 recommendations) or determined that work was already underway in the GNSO (14 recommendations). Part Two prioritized the recommendations as high, medium or low in terms of the impact it could have on the GNSO.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The spreadsheet is sorted by priority so you will see high priority recommendations first, medium priority recommendations in the second tier, and low priority or do not implement recommendations toward the bottom.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below is an updated timeline:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to your feedback by close of business on 24 February.<o:p></o:p></p>
