<p style="margin:0cm;background:white"><span style="color:black">The Registration Data Accuracy (RDA) Scoping Team was initiated by the GNSO Council in July 2021 per the
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/registration-data-accuracy-scoping-team-formation-instructions-09jul21-en.pdf">
<span style="color:#1155CC">formation instructions</span></a>. The Scoping Team was tasked with considering a number of accuracy-related factors such as the current enforcement, reporting, measurement, and overall effectiveness of accuracy-related efforts.
These considerations are expected to help inform its deliberations and the development of recommendations to the GNSO Council on whether any changes are recommended to improve accuracy levels, and, if so, how and by whom these changes would need to be developed
(for example, if changes to existing contractual requirements are recommended, a PDP or contractual negotiations may be necessary to effect a change). </span><o:p></o:p></p>

not require access to registration data, namely a registrar survey and a possible registrar audit that may help further inform the team’s work on assignment #3 (effectiveness) and #4 (impact & improvements), while it awaits the outcome of the outreach to the
European Data Protection Board (EDPB) by ICANN org in relation to proposals that would require access to registration data.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0cm;background:white"><span style="color:black">The CCOICI has reviewed the GNSO Working Group Self-Assessment (WGSA) survey and has proposed several recommendations and updates to the documentation. The CCOICI tasked the GNSO Statement of
Interest (SOI) Task Force (TF) to review the current Statement of Interest (SOI) requirements and as a result of its review it is recommending a different structure. The CCOICI’s and Task Force proposed recommendations require amendments to the GNSO Operating

<p style="margin:0cm;background:white"><span style="color:black">During the ICANN73 wrap up, the Council discussed a number of parallel conversations that have emerged since implementing PDP 3.0, identifying other aspects of the PDP where improvements could
be considered. In addition, there are a number of projects on the Council’s Action Decision Radar (ADR) related to PDP improvements which will need to be addressed at some point in the future.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;background:white"><span style="color:black">To provide the Council with a clear picture of these different parallel initiatives and projects, and to avoid overlap and ensure complementarity, the staff support team developed a

<span style="color:#1155CC">discussion paper</span></a>. In addition to an overview of the different initiatives and projects, the paper also suggests a possible approach for managing these different initiatives by focusing on 1) which elements could be implemented
with relatively minimal effort, 2) which elements could be implemented with some effort, 3) which elements need careful planning and consideration before these can be implemented. After reviewing a draft of the

<span style="color:#1155CC">PDP Improvements Tracker</span></a> during a series of Council meetings, no objections were received to track and manage the work in the suggested manner.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;background:white"><span style="color:black">As a first step towards the substantive review of the items in the tracker, Council leadership worked with the staff support team to develop a survey to obtain initial input from Council members
as well as Stakeholder Group and Constituency leadership that will help inform the substantive review of the proposed improvements and next steps. A sample of the survey was circulated to the Council list in advance of the August meeting where the survey,
approach, and next steps were discussed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;background:white"><span style="color:black">Having heard no disagreement, the survey was launched shortly after the Council meeting. The results of the survey are expected to be considered during the GNSO working session at ICANN75.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
