<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear Sub Team members, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In preparation for tomorrow’s call (<b>Wed, 28 Feb at 23:00 UTC</b> – APAC time zone rotation), staff wish to propose the following agenda for your consideration:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Sub Team continue reviewing and developing objective questions with regard to the URS Rules (Section 9 et seq.), and then proceed with the URS Procedures, MoU
between ICANN and Providers, and the Providers’ Supplemental Rules that contain variations.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Next steps/next meeting<o:p></o:p></span>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Reporting at ICANN61<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Review questions from Practitioner / Documents Sub Teams to Providers<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Number of future meetings; planning/building timeline for completing questions for URS Providers<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
</li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Regarding agenda item <u>2a</u>, staff believes that the WG Co-Chairs plan to use some part of the RPM sessions at ICANN61 for reports and discussions of the work of the various Sub Teams. As such, for tomorrow’s
Sub Team call, staff would recommend the Sub Team to allocate some time to agree on what and how you will be reporting back to the full group at ICANN61.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Regarding agenda item <u>2b</u>, staff would like to give the Sub Team a heads up that the Documents and Practitioners Sub Teams have been proposing some questions targeting the Providers. They will share
these questions with the Providers Sub Team shortly. The Sub Team may need to decide how to incorporate these questions in the list of questions for Providers.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Regarding agenda item <u>2c</u>, staff would like to remind the Sub Team that the full WG has previously agreed to invite URS Providers to attend future meeting(s) to answer questions. It would be beneficial
for the Sub Team to follow a set timeline and deliver questions to the Providers in a timeline manner. Related to this point, it would be helpful for the Sub Team to estimate the number of future meetings needed to complete the review of the pertinent documents,
as well as the deliberation of the questions, factoring APAC time zone rotation. It would be ideal if the Sub Team could wrap up the work shortly after ICANN61 (e.g. April).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Last, staff has completed the action item related to URS Examiners’ qualifications (shared last week and attached the file again), and is in process developing the table that maps URS Rules, Procedures, and
Supplemental Rules. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you all for your review and consideration of the suggested agenda!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Best Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
