Dear ATRT3 Implementation Shepherds,

I hope this message finds you well.

ICANN org continues to address the implementation of your “Recommendations, Suggestions, and Observations Related to the Prioritization and Rationalization of Activities, Policies, and Recommendations”.

As you may know, ICANN org has begun to include community prioritization in the annual Operating and Financial Planning cycles to inform decision-making for the annual and five-year planning process. See here<https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/ICANN+Planning+Prioritization+Framework+Project> for more information.

Furthermore, ICANN org is developing a process for retiring recommendations. In this regard, ICANN org wishes to seek your input on the bold-highlighted language that is on page 97 of section 10.3 (“Analysis of Information and Identification of Issues Related to the Prioritization and Rationalization of Activities, Policies, and Recommendations”) of the ATRT3 Final Report<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/atrt3-report-29may20-en.pdf>:

“ATRT3 also notes that the responses to its survey regarding prioritization:

  *   92% of Structures and 73% of individuals supported ATRT3 making recommendations about prioritization and rationalization of ICANN activities.
  *   100% of Structures and 85% of individuals supported ATRT3 making recommendations about including a process to retire recommendations as it becomes apparent that the community will never get to them or they have been overtaken by other events.
  *   100% of Structures and 97% of individuals supported ATRT3 making recommendations about having the community or representative(s) of the community be involved as decisional participants in any mechanism which makes recommendations for prioritizing and rationalizing work for ICANN.

It is in this context that the ATRT3 concluded that it will make a recommendation with respect to the prioritization of recommendations from reviews and cross-community working groups.”

Could you clarify the meaning of “as it becomes apparent that the community will never get to them” and/or provide us with examples?

We would be grateful if you could please get back to us on this by 6 January 2023. Thanks for letting us know if you are not able to meet this deadline and for suggesting a new one.

Kind Regards,

Giovanni
