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.
- 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.
- Two Webinars will be be held with details of proposals and Q&A opportunity.
Webinar 1: 07 June 2018: 5:00-6:00 UTC [local time] | Webinar 2: 07 June 2018:17:00-18:00 UTC [local time]
To participate, please request a calendar invitation by sending your email request to mssi-secretariat@icann.org and indicate which webinar you will join.
- After Public Comment 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. We invite you to participate in the public comment, the webinars or both. Thank you for your time and let your voice be heard.
