> For the next 72 hours (until 10:00p.m. UTC , Saturday), all Review Team

>
> 1. Case Studies of PDPs and Processes with regard to ATRT1 advice (Avri)
> 2. Whistle-blower program - Effectiveness and adherence to standards (Avri)
> 3. ICANN Finances (Lise)
> 4. Case study re: effectiveness of PDP process (Alan)
> 5. Public Interest - ecosystem value chain (Carlos)
> 6. Metrics (Brian)

> (Note that the ATRT2 government representatives are addressing Jorgen’s
> proposed issue of “Outreach” to governments separately and for that reason
> has been removed from the list of potential Independent Expert issues.)
>
> Falling under Issue #1 above, a number of specific case studies have been
> recommended (byAvri and identified from review of Public Comments received
> to date).  When the Doodle poll is circulated, Review Team members who
> support Issue #1 above will also be asked to identify specific case studies

>
> 1.     New gTLD program

> 2.     Applicant Support program

> 3.     ICANN Travel policy

> 4.     IDN ccTLD PDP
