Whereas,
- GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) 3.0 is a GNSO Council initiative aimed at introducing incremental improvements to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of GNSO PDPs.
...
- On 24 October 2018, the GNSO Council resolved to adopt the GNSO PDP 3.0 Proposed Improvements
...
- Paper and provided full support for fourteen (14) improvements.
...
- In January 2019 during the GNSO Council’s Strategic Planning Session (SPS), the GNSO Council decided
...
- that a Small Team of Councilors should be convened to support the implementation efforts in
...
- collaboration with the GNSO support staff. Led by Rafik Dammak, a GNSO Council Vice Chair, the Small
...
- Team met regularly between April 2019 and February 2020, with designated leads working with staff to
...
- advance the implementation of each improvement.
...
- To facilitate the GNSO Council’s review, the Small Team delivered four packages to the GNSO Council
...
- in an incremental manner: Package one, on improvements 1, 2, 3, and 6 was delivered on 13 August
...
- 2019; Package two, on improvements 11, 12, 14, and 16 was delivered on 25 September 2019; Package
...
- three, on improvements 5 and 13 was delivered on 22 October 2019; and Package four, on
...
- improvements 9 and 15 was delivered on 21 November 2019.
...
- During the process of developing and finalizing the proposed implementation, the ICANN community
...
- and the ICANN org were consulted for input and suggestions via various mechanisms, including but not
...
- limited to: interviews and small group discussions, GNSO Council mailing lists and meetings, invitation to
...
- provide written input, and a public webinar on 9 December 2019.
...
- While the PDP 3.0 precedes ICANN’s Evolution of the Multistakeholder Model (MSM) project, the
...
- implementation is nevertheless connected. The GNSO Council commented on the Evolution of the
...
- MSM’s initial report and engaged with Brian Cute, the project’s
...
- facilitator, before and during the
...
- ICANN66 meeting in Montréal. In Appendix C of ICANN’s Draft FY21-25 Operating & Financial Plans and
...
- Draft FY21 Operating Plan & Budget, which documents the outcome of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the
...
- project, three (3) out of the six (6) workstreams align with the PDP 3.0 implementation; the GNSO is
...
- being proposed to lead the “Issue A: Consensus + representation and Inclusivity” workstream.
...
- In January-February 2020, the Small Team conducted additional activities, including: 1) revising the
...
- GNSO PDP working group charter template; 2) identifying sections in the current GNSO Operating
...
- Procedures that could be revised after the GNSO Council reviews the effectiveness of PDP 3.0
...
- implementation; and 3) discussing “Parking Lot” items that might benefit from future work.
...
- In January 2020 during GNSO Council’s SPS, the GNSO Council dedicated several sessions to the
...
- discussion of PDP 3.0 and agreed on several action items as the next steps for the implementation
...
- efforts.
...
- On 10 February 2020, the Small Team completed thirteen (13) out of fourteen (14) PDP 3.0
...
- improvements and delivered its Final Report to the GNSO Council for its consideration. The Final Report
...
- provides an overview of the PDP 3.0 implementation process and outcomes, a consolidation of all of the
...
- work products incorporating community feedback as appropriate, and suggested effective time frame
...
- for deployment of the improvements.
...
- The last remaining work product related, the Consensus Playbook, is originated from PDP 3.0
...
- Improvement #4 and not complete.
...
- While, the Consensus Playbook is not strictly a PDP 3.0 product,
...
- it is intended to be utilized by the broader ICANN community beyond the GNSO. Its pending status
...
- should not prevent the GNSO Council adoption of the Implementation Final Report from the PDP 3.0
...
- Small Team. Adoption of the Consensus Playbook will be voted upon by the GNSO Council at a later date.
Resolved,
...
- The GNSO Council hereby adopts the GNSO PDP 3.0 Implementation Final Report and instructs GNSO
...
- Support Staff to work with the GNSO Council leadership on the deployment of improvements based on
...
- the effective time frame proposed by the PDP 3.0 Small Team.
...
- The GNSO Council requests future charter drafting teams of the GNSO Council to commence
...
- chartering for upcoming PDP efforts by utilizing the revised GNSO working group charter template and
...
- other related PDP 3.0 work products, and report to the GNSO Council on whether they help achieve the
...
- intended outcomes.
...
- The GNSO Council requests that after all PDP 3.0 improvements are in effect, the GNSO Council
...
- conducts a review of the implementation effectiveness in a timely manner.
...
- The GNSO Council requests that following the GNSO Council review of the PDP 3.0 implementation
...
- effectiveness, the GNSO Council considers any necessary updates to the GNSO Operating Procedures
...
- and uses the relevant work product in the PDP 3.0 Implementation Final Report as a starting point.
...
- The GNSO Council confirms that none but one (1) “Parking Lot” item (Statement of Interest Review)
...
- identified by the PDP 3.0 Small Team should be moved forward until the GNSO Council has the
...
- opportunity to evaluate the PDP 3.0 implementation effectiveness.
...
- The GNSO Council thanks to the PDP 3.0 Small Team, GNSO support staff, and others who have
...
- contributed to the implementation of GNSO PDP 3.0 improvements as well as the proposed
...
- implementation work products to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of GNSO PDPs.
