to proceed with the review. Obviously, the UDRP has a longer history which may have resulted in more data and information in the PSR report? Also, the UDRP PSR was preceded by a number of other steps which may have added additional complexity? Do note that
the PSR report is a staff product, it is not a community report and as such should not add to the community workload (although the community is offered the opportunity to weigh in through public comment on the draft PSR report).

review of these recommendations is carried out at the latest five years following their implementation to assess whether the recommendations have achieved what they set out to do and/or whether any further enhancements or changes are needed”</i>. The idea
is that a PSR will allow for an informed decision on if/how to proceed, which could be to conclude that no changes are needed at this stage, or not now but should be considered later, or that there are specific areas that might benefit from review and modification.

the Policy and Implementation Working Group at this time<span lang="EN-US">”, please note that the development of a Policy Status Review (PSR) report does NOT imply that a review will be conducted on all the recommendations of the Policy and Implementation
Working Group. The PSR report is comparable to an Issue Report in the sense that it provides a general overview of the status of implementation of the Policy and Implementation WG recommendations in combination with possible issues that may need further attention
but it is then up to the Council to decide if/how a subsequent review is conducted and what the scope of such a review would be. As you note, for processes that have not been used, or are in the process of being used for the first time, it is unlikely that
there is sufficient information available to even conduct a review. The PSR report is merely the first step in the process on the basis of which the Council can then take an informed decision on if/how to proceed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">"The WG noted that IRTs should not be used as an opportunity to reopen policy<br>
recommendations. The main objective of the IRT is to ensure that implementation is carried out<br>
in conformance with the intent of the policy recommendations. As such, it would be important<br>
to emphasize this aspect to any members joining an IRT, especially if they were not involved in<br>
developing the original policy recommendations. "<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">And as you all know, the Board is asking us to change Sub Pro policy it finds problematic in connection with 38 different topics. The Board has suggested we might reconvene the
Sub Pro WG but I'm a pragmatist and I don't think that is a practical approach. The Board apparently wants some policy changes and in its presentation, it stated on the slides that it is willing to make suggestions in this regard, although when I asked about
this, Avri Doria replied that any such suggestions right now would be "premature." Hopefully those suggestions will be forthcoming in a written form in the near future but I don't recall a previous instance of so many requests for policy changes.<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Given the current work that needs to be done to move these Board requests and a Sub Pro IRT forward, my own view is that a Policy Status Report on the Recommendations of the Policy
& Implementation Working Group is premature. I don't believe we should be reviewing ALL the Recommendations of the Policy and Implementation Working Group at this time. (Perhaps a review of the EPDP process may be appropriate since we have some experience
there.) There is no reason to review the GNSO Guidance Process or the Input Process. In fact, either EPDP or GGP may be the most appropriate tool to address the Board's request for review of the 38 policy recommendations it apparently wants the Council
to modify before it will move forward with assigning those to an IRT. <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Regarding the proposed review of the P & I WG recommendations on IRTs, this is not an appropriate time to call into question recommendations like the one that IRTs should be mandatory
except in extenuating circumstances (now codified in the Council's Operating Procedures.) The reason is that the Board is about to institute an IRT for Sub Pro (we hope) and as noted in the text above, an important role for the IRT is make sure that "implementation
is carried out in conformance with the intent of the policy recommendations." So why would we want to be reviewing that Recommendation at this critical juncture? And don't we have enough work to do without this?<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Another issue in this regard is that the policy recommendations that came out of Sub Pro were in fact an integrated "bundle", not necessarily separable in the manner that is proposed
for moving forward. I have not analyzed the Board's request in this regard but it may be worth looking at those 38 items in relation to that principle.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Bottom line: I think we need to postpone a PSR on the Recommendations of the Policy & Implementation Working Group and actively engage in an analysis of the 38 items the Board proposes
to modify. Again, I'm a pragmatist and would like to know the Board's proposed solutions for these issues before sending the Council off on launching a mechanism, which once again, might fail to meet the Board's requirements for moving forward.<o:p></o:p></p>
