Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (07:18) matches the tone of the other recommendations
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (07:19) and does not really change the spirit of the rec
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (07:19) I can agree to that softening from annual
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (07:19) noted
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (07:20) So only change to rec 5 is suggested text by JH

Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (07:21) I can merge these two suggestions into the text
Julie Hammer (SSAC): (07:21) Good suggestion, Rafik.
Rafik: (07:24) board raising concerns about privacy matter
Rafik: (07:24) I think we agree to leave a not here about privacy to be considered during implementation
Bernard Turcotte - ICANN: (07:25) suggested wording for rec 5 - Each SO/AC/group, supported by ICANN staff, should undertake a regular update, ideally annually but at least every 3 years, of their diversity assessment against their Diversity Criteria and objectives at all levels including leadership. They should publish the results on their official website and use this information to review and update their objectives, strategies and timelines.
