1. GNSO Review Recommendations

Discussion Notes:

·         Could put recommendations in buckets for prioritization.

·         Review Working Party already did some prioritization - start with high, medium, low.

·         Look at resources available in the GNSO community for implementation; consider a grouping of recommendations and complete in order.

2.  Working Method Considerations

Discussion Notes:

Considerations as we move forward:

·         Volunteer capacity;

·         Realistic implementation schedule and plan; and

·         How to measure results.

What should the review produce?

·         Specific, measurable, actionable, relevant, time-based recommendations (SMART).

·         Need to create a broad-based implementation plan.

·         Take into account work that has already been done by the GNSO Review Working Party on formulating useful recommendations.

·         Consider having a weekly working plan – how much to accomplish each week.

Question: Can staff provide information concerning parameters for each recommendation -- such as budget?  What are other parameters/approaches?

·         Another parameter -- measuring success and desired outcomes; data collection properties.

·         Determine how to measure where things are today and the desired outcomes.

·         Determine how many of these are realistic to tackle on a year-by-year basis.

·         Determine what additional points of information we need from staff.  Re-rank by placing everything that is high together.

·         Realistic resource-bound plan on how to tackle them, bandwidth, time, and limits.

·         Include OEC in Hyderabad meeting.
