The small team will be asked to perform the very narrow task of reviewing the Outputs marked as “pending” by the Board and suggest a path for resolution. A key assumption is that the path forward to resolve Board concerns may not be the same for every recommendation. Therefore, the small team will carefully review recommendations marked as “pending” in the Board’s communication to the Council: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/presentation/outputs-that-the-board-marks-as-pending-28feb23-en.pdf and perform a triage exercise. The triage exercise could result in the recommendations being placed in buckets for their ideal path forward rather than each recommendation being address individually.
