<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Paul,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for brainstorming potential new ways of working. For context, I think the main reason we currently use a single small team to organize the work is the quick turnaround needed for the Communique review. Council typically aims to have
the review sent to the GAC before the GAC meets with the Board to go over any clarifying questions about the Communique.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In some cases, our small teams on the relevant subjects may be dormant or may be meeting only on as-needed basis. It may be a challenge to get each of these groups to meet, consolidate responses, and have Council review the final draft
in the target timeframe. In practice, we have encouraged relevant SMEs from the different subjects and groups to be a part of the Communique Review. The draft response always goes back to the full Council for review in case anything needs to be added or polished.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>With that said, we are still welcoming Councilors to sign up for the Communique Review small team</b>, especially those with expertise in the Communique topics:

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Emily. Not to mess with what has always worked in the past, but we have several small teams set up for most of the items in the communique. Would it make more sense to have those items referred to the respective Council small team
(DNS Abuse, SubPro, REDDRESS system, etc.) for the relevant small team to draft a response? We can then take the “homeless” items and assign them to the relevant Council liaison (for example, whomever is the liaison for the Task Force that has raised the
issue of the SOI expansion) to take the first cut at those? Could we just appoint someone then to gather those draft responses by date X rather than empaneling & doodling another small team? Just a thought.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Councilors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To support the small group’s work in reviewing the Communique, here is the standard Google Doc for responding to Advice items, with the ICANN76 Advice filled into the first two columns:
<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1829lKsBSn_O0ecSeI4FFLBhLymLAKIs9gx81P_6n3yw/edit?usp=sharing__;!!PtGJab4!6RNq_39fwbFwN0cvfULjeCC6OTY33UjNrFMpmyiKZ13ZGq9KfYy1f3kfdhz3XiOzqrln8gxd-xFhKR2hMTRnIOtKkIM$">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The staff support team has also prepared a Google Doc to assist the small group in organizing its thoughts on Issues of Importance, to the extent that the small group would like to suggest responses on those items:
<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1ziBDcQ1eqjI_DXIORpnevzqXIaoVo_5LJ60sJvJE5xM/edit?usp=sharing__;!!PtGJab4!6RNq_39fwbFwN0cvfULjeCC6OTY33UjNrFMpmyiKZ13ZGq9KfYy1f3kfdhz3XiOzqrln8gxd-xFhKR2hMTRncSpBqhU$">
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ziBDcQ1eqjI_DXIORpnevzqXIaoVo_5LJ60sJvJE5xM/edit?usp=sharing [docs.google.com]</a>. As noted in the template, the small group may suggest, and Council will determine the method of delivering each response item (for example
via correspondence or dialogue) to the target audience (for example the GAC or Board).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Staff will follow up with the Councilors listed below with a doodle poll to set up a meeting. If there are other Councilors who would like to join the small group, please respond on list and we will make sure you get the doodle, as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
