Yes, few are even good. But I don’t believe ICANN needs global monitoring. It’s sufficient to focus on regions/countries that take the lead in regulatory efforts.

I don't believe that lobbying strategies should be broadly discussed in the community.

While their work product is currently a spreadsheet, I recall we agreed it needs to go much deeper in analysis and demonstrate a predictive capability for where  future or existing regulations impact GNSO policies, in effect now or under future development.
