The GNSO Council established a small team to carefully review the pending SubPro recommendations and identify the best path forward to seek to resolve the issues that were preventing Board adoption of the pending recommendations.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo5">

On 22 May 2023, the GNSO Council and ICANN Board discussed the expectation that for certain pending recommendations, a Clarifying Statement from the Council may be sufficient to mitigate the concerns preventing adoption of some of the pending recommendations.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo5">
At ICANN77, the GNSO Council and ICANN Board reached agreement on the specific set of pending recommendations that may be resolved via a Clarifying Statement from the Council.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo5">

draft Clarifying Statement</a> that was discussed with the Council during its July meeting and was subsequently shared with the ICANN Board for their consideration of whether the Clarifying Statement does indeed address the Board’s concerns.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo5">
The GNSO Council took into account the feedback from the ICANN Board and finalized the Council’s
