1. GNSO Review Recommendations
Discussion Notes:
· Could put recommendations in buckets for prioritization.
· Review Working Party already did some prioritization - start with high, medium, low.
· Look at resources available in the GNSO community for implementation; consider a grouping of recommendations and complete in order.
2. Working Method Considerations
Discussion Notes:
Considerations as we move forward:
· Volunteer capacity;
· Realistic implementation schedule and plan; and
· How to measure results.
What should the review produce?
· Specific, measurable, actionable, relevant, time-based recommendations (SMART).
· Need to create a broad-based implementation plan.
· Take into account work that has already been done by the GNSO Review Working Party on formulating useful recommendations.
· Consider having a weekly working plan – how much to accomplish each week.
Question: Can staff provide information concerning parameters for each recommendation -- such as budget? What are other parameters/approaches?
· Another parameter -- measuring success and desired outcomes; data collection properties.
· Determine how to measure where things are today and the desired outcomes.
· Determine how many of these are realistic to tackle on a year-by-year basis.
· Determine what additional points of information we need from staff. Re-rank by placing everything that is high together.
· Realistic resource-bound plan on how to tackle them, bandwidth, time, and limits.
· Include OEC in Hyderabad meeting.
