<br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><u class="">One addition to my earlier message regarding the CCT Review</u><br class="">
<br class="">
It would be helpful for the Board in making its decision on review recommendations if the CCT Review Team were to classify its recommendations along the following categories:<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">o Accept and implement BEFORE the next round of new gTLDs<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">o Accept and implement in tandem with the next round of new gTLDs<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The review team is free to suggest which of their recommendations fit into each group. The Board will make its decision based on input from the RT as well as input from the community and staff.
<br class="">
<br class="">
As a matter of procedure, the Board would ask the Review Team at the initiation of the CCT review to prepare to advise on the status of each of its recommendation (i.e., whether they think it is necessary to implement the recommendation before proceeding with
the next round of new gTLDs or in tandem). This will provide clarity on what set of recommendations must be implemented before the next rounds and what set of recommendations has more flexibility in terms of implementation timeline.
<br class="">
<br class="">
The suggestion to WP1 and CCWG is that any requirement to implement CCT review recommendations before the next round of new gTLDs distinguish between the two categories of recommendations in terms of implementation timeline.
