[council] Recommendations Report to the Board - IRTP Part B Recommendation #9 part 2

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

Per the new GNSO Policy Development Process, the GNSO Council needs to approve 
the Recommendations Report to the Board (which has replaced the Council Report 
to the Board in the old PDP) before it is submitted to the ICANN Board for its 
consideration. Following the adoption of IRTP Part B Recommendation #9 part 2 
and the ICANN Staff proposal, we have prepared the attached Recommendations 
Report for your consideration. Please note that this report does not contain 
any new information, but aims to provide an overview of all the relevant 
information in order for the Board to take an informed decision. As the new PDP 
does not prescribe how such a Recommendations Report should be structured, we 
would also like to take this opportunity to ask your input on the elements the 
Recommendations Report should contain so this can be turned into a template 
which can be used for future Recommendations Reports. For your information, you 
will find the relevant section of the PDP Manual relating to the 
Recommendations Report below.

With best regards,

Marika

>From the PDP Manual

13. Preparation of the Board Report

If the PDP Recommendations contained in the Final Report are approved by the 
GNSO Council, the GNSO Council may designate a person or group responsible for 
drafting a Recommendations Report to the Board. If feasible, the 
Recommendations Report to the Board should be submitted to the Board in time 
for consideration at the next GNSO Council meeting following adoption of the 
Final Report. Staff should inform the GNSO Council from time to time of the 
format requested by the Board. These GNSO Council Reports supplement any Staff 
Reports that may highlight any legal, implementability, financial, and other 
operational concerns related to the PDP recommendations contained in the Final 
Report. In order to enhance ICANN’s accountability and transparency, Staff is 
encouraged to publish its Staff Reports with minimal redactions wherever 
possible, without jeopardizing information that may be protected under 
attorney/client or other legal privileges.
