>> During its informal session at ICANN76 and the subsequent Council
>> meeting, the Council discussed and agreed
>> <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso-council-15mar23-en.pdf>
>> to task a small team of interested councilors to review the recommendations
>> that the Board placed in a pending status and suggest to the full Council
>> how the underlying concerns that caused the pending status can be best
>> addressed (i.e., a limited triage exercise). Interested Councilors were
>> asked to volunteer for the Small Team by 15 March 2023.
>>
>> Since ICANN76, the Council SubPro Small Team has met several times and
>> has completed an initial run through of the issues chart, with Board member
>> input on why the Board placed specific recommendations into a pending
>> status. The Council discussed the main output of that triage effort, the
>> proposed paths forward for each pending recommendation, during an
>> Extraordinary Meeting on 4 May. During that meeting, the Council agreed to
>> further task the small team with taking interim steps (e.g., provision is
>> clarifying information, developing speaking points) in order to support the
>> Council’s dialogue with the ICANN Board on 22 May
>> <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=240617931>.
>> The Council debriefed after the dialogue with the ICANN Board and discussed
>> next steps. The small team has continued to consider what the “landing
>> spots” are for each recommendation, though the Council and small team are
>> still awaiting input from the Board on where they believe the “landing
>> spots” are; ideally, there will be mutual agreement in as many places as
>> possible, which among other things, helps facilitate the development of a
>> more accurate work plan and timeline (i.e., the key deliverable for ICANN77
>> in respect of the pending recommendations).
>>
>> Here, the Council will discuss the progress the small team has continued
>> to make, discuss additional work that may be needed as a result of where
>> certain recommendations may land, as well as discuss how best to use the
>> time allotted for the pre-ICANN77 all day Council sessions.
