Description

Group Objectives:

The pilot will consist of a series of virtual sessions facilitated by the org’s Planning team. Other subject matter experts will also attend the pilot sessions. In addition, a liaison from the ICANN Board will attend the sessions. During the sessions, participants will review the list of Board-approved recommendations from Specific Reviews that are pending for implementation.

This list will include guidance from the org on the level of prioritization using the prioritization technique Urgent/Important. The guidance is to enable discussion during this exercise as a starting point of the evaluation. Each recommendation will be evaluated in terms of the level of urgency and importance. Participants will be asked to discuss the list of the recommendations and they can either (1) agree with the prioritization provided and provide notes on why, or (2) adjust the level of prioritization and provide notes on why.

Once complete, the org will hold a wrap-up session with all participants to discuss and identify lessons learned from the pilot that serves as input to the next version of the framework.

Steps of pilot prioritization process:
Step 1: The output is a list of prioritized Board-approved specific review recommendations to be published as a resource document for the Proposed for Adoption FY23-27 Operating and Financial Plan presented to the ICANN Board for Adoption in May 2022.
Step 2: Within 1-2 months from the end of Step 1, and once the org receives the list of prioritized recommendations, org will start to assess them against the resources required for their implementation and develop a detailed implementation plan. Furthermore, during this step, org evaluates possible dependencies among the prioritized recommendations.

Subsequently, org will begin the implementation of the prioritized recommendations

Members

The org recommends that participation consists of members from the community that are selected by the stakeholder groups and constituencies leadership. The stakeholder groups and constituencies leadership will be asked to nominate one member to participate in the prioritization process. The request includes identifying an alternate member should the primary
member be unable to participate due to unforeseen reasons. The community planning prioritization group will have up to 9 members as follows:
