<span style="color:blue">transmittal letter</span></a> to Rinalia Abdul Rahim, dated 27 April 2016), Staff has put together a Summary of GNSO Review Recommendations for OEC Consideration (attached). The purpose of this document is to provide the Committee
with a complete overview of all pertinent information in connection with the GNSO Review Recommendations. At their next meeting on 15 May, the Committee will discuss the GNSO Review recommendations with the objective of formulating the Committee’s recommendation
to the Board. Jen Wolfe will be present to answer Committee’s questions and provide clarification on the work of the Working Party.

community feedback and comments concerning implementation are summarized in Annex A.

</span><span style="color:black">Finally, with a view to the forthcoming implementation process, the GNSO Council requested <span style="background:white">ICANN policy staff to 'prepare a discussion paper that outlines the possible options for dealing with
the implementation of the GNSO Review recommendations following adoption by the ICANN Board, taking into account the past implementation of the GNSO Review as well as existing mechanisms such as the SCI, the GNSO Review Working Party and other applicable best
practices and lessons learned from past reviews.’ The plan will take into consideration the views of the Council as well as those by the OEC and the Board, and address various elements essential for an effective and efficient implementation process. These
elements include: prioritization of recommendations in line with GNSO and ICANN capacity; clear articulation of expected outcomes from implementation; and definition of means to measure effectiveness of implementation.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
