ICANN org walked SO/AC Leadership through the process on 29 September 2023, and subsequently shared a note, on 13 October 2023, to confirm the deadline and mechanism for submitting feedback on the proposed process.

How to submit feedback: Send email to giovanni.seppia@icann.org and alice.jansen@icann.org 

Deadline: 30 November 2023

Responses:

Responses received included:

• Letter of intent - ccNSO Council
• ALAC input 
• GNSO Council input 
• ccNSO Council and Guideline Review Committee input

The process refined to address the areas for improvement identified by the GNSO Council, and the ccNSO Council and its Guideline Review Committee Council:

• A new step 2 was added to allow for the issue paper to be sent to SO/AC leaders, along with a request to send any feedback from their communities. This earlier community engagement will allow ICANN org to gauge initial reaction, and will serve to better inform the relevant grouping(s) of the ICANN Board on whether to proceed with the next step, which entails submitting the paper to the community prioritization group.

• The process was also modified to enable any SO/AC that selected members to the Specific Review or served as a Chartering Organization to the Cross-Community Working Group that generated the recommendation at issue, to request that ICANN org initiates the retirement process.
