<LI>Rec 4: The idea was that rewards could be taken into consideration but not
in terms of cash (financial). Travel support is therefore seen as being
non-financial.
<LI>Rec 19: These kinds of confirmations are usually part of the “Wheras” of
council resolutions. But re the diversity aspect the council should be

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">The Board is getting ready to take
action on the GNSO Review Recommendations along with the substantial analysis
and feedback from all of you and others in the GNSO. As you can see from
the update below, the work of your group has been combined with feedback from
the GNSO Council and other community members to provide the Organizational
Effectiveness Committee with a full picture. OEC members have some
questions for the Working Party and staff will compile and circulate these
questions within the next day.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Following the GNSO Council’s
adoption of the GNSO Review Working Party's recommendations (see James Bladel’s
<A

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. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Recommendations of the Independent Examiner, the feedback from the GNSO
Review Working Party (including implementation priority), and a description of
work already underway. In addition, community feedback and comments concerning
implementation are summarized in Annex A. This feedback is the result of a
webinar held on 12 April 2016 (<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>
