Detailed Status:

Approved by Consensus:

Recommendation 8: That Working Groups should have an explicit role in responding to implementation issues related to policy they have developed.

Recommendation 13: That the GNSO Council evaluate and, if appropriate, pilot a technology solution (such as Loomio or similar) to facilitate wider participation in Working Group consensus-based decision making.  Due 27 July 2017.

Recommendation 14 & 15: 14 – That the GNSO further explores PDP ‘chunking’ and examines each potential PDP as to its feasibility for breaking into discrete stages. 15 – That the GNSO continues current PDP Improvements Project initiatives to address timeliness of the PDP.

Recommendation 16: That a policy impact assessment (PIA) be included as a standard part of any policy process.

Recommendations 24 & 25: 24 – That the GNSO Council and Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies adhere to the published process for applications for new Constituencies. That the ICANN Board in assessing an application satisfy itself that all parties have followed the published process, subject to which the default outcome is that a new Constituency is admitted.

Recommendation 19: As strategic manager rather than a policy body the GNSO Council should continue to focus on ensuring that a Working Group has been properly constituted, has thoroughly fulfilled the terms of its charter and has followed due process.

Out for Consensus Call:

Recommendations 10/11  10 – That the GNSO Council develop criteria for Working Groups to engage a professional facilitator/moderator in certain situations. 11 – That the face-to-face PDP Working Group pilot project be assessed when completed.
