Recommendation 5
Continue initiatives that aim to reduce the barriers to newcomers.
| Working Party (initial assessment of feasibility and usefulness): | CG - Accept with modification: It would be helpful to summarize the biggest barriers and search for cost-effective ways to reduce them. It should be kept in mind though that some barriers are beyond GNSO control (e.g., excessive workload) so efforts should be focused on those barriers where the GNSO may be able to impact. Some barriers to entry are also inherent in the nature of the work being done by the applicable working group. For example, knowledge of the subject matter and willingness to compromise to find solutions could be considered natural barriers to entry, but by themselves should never be discouraged. |

Rationale: MK: accept as is. LG: Accept with modification. I would suggest expanding to include the establishment of performance measures to evaluate effectiveness of initiatives to reduce barriers to newcomers. (Key Performance Indicators-KPIs, targets, phasing), If Rec.1 is intended to address this, then consider adding a clarification. |
