Streamlining Reviews
- During ICANN61, many discussions were held on the budget and priorities for ICANN. The goal being to operate more efficiently and effectively, while considering the availability of the community and our resources. One theme that continued to arise was community member concerns and observations regarding the number of concurrent reviews in the context of volunteer and resource strain – for example, currently, there are eleven reviews running at the same time. Thus streamlining the review process has become a priority.
- To build feedback from the Community, we opened two Public Comment periods to provide transparency and get input on a range of available options, and to understand which options – or new suggestions - the community would support. We are inviting public comment on the short-term and long-term options stated below.
The Short-Term Options
The Long-Term Options
- In addition, two Webinars will be held with details of proposals and Q&A opportunity for the community.
Webinar 1: 07 June 2018: 5:00-6:00 UTC [local time] See webinar archives here
Webinar 2: 07 June 2018:17:00-18:00 UTC [local time] See webinar archives here
To participate, please request a calendar invitation by sending your email request to mssi-secretariat@icann.org and indicate which webinar you will join.
- Your voice is important, we encourage you to let it be heard by participating in the public comment, the webinars or both.
- After the Public Comment period closes, we will analyze the comments that were received and coordinate with the Organizational Effectiveness Committee of the Board (OEC) to identify whether there is agreement in the community and if so, recommendations to the Board on the paths forward. Thank you for being a part of streamlining reviews.
