<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of Maureen Hilyard, ALAC Chair, please see the note below and report attached on the publication of the NomCom Implementation Planning Team’s Feasibility Assessment and Initial Implementation Plan.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Maureen,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is to inform you that on 13 December 2018 the NomCom Implementation Planning Team (IPT) approved, with full consensus, its Feasibility Assessment and Initial Implementation Plan (FAIIP). We note that the IPT accepted all 27 recommendations
contained in the final report [icann.org] – with a few minor amendments to four of them (Rec #15 (p.56), Rec #24 (p.89), Rec #25 (p.93), Rec #27 (p.101) in the attached FAIIP).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to the community-wide interest in the NomCom review, we are reaching out to all SO/AC, SG/C leaders, informing them of the FAIIP’s publication. Please, share this information with your respective community at your earliest convenience.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following standards organizational review procedures, we currently expect the Board to resolve on next steps, including implementation, during ICANN64. Subject to that timeline, detailed implementation planning is likely to start in April
2019, with the first steps being the creation of an implementation team and the drafting of a detailed implementation plan, followed by the implementation proper.
<o:p></o:p></p>
