<span style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">discussed and agreed</span></a> 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.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">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
<a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=240617931" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">22 May</span></a>. 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).</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">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.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
