<span style="font-size:10.0pt">Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) is a method to resolve string contention for New gTLDapplications. It occurs if a community application is both in contention and elects to pursue CPE. The evaluation is an independent analysis
conducted by a panel from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). As part of its process, the CPE provider reviews and scores a community applicant that has elected CPE against the following four criteria: Community Establishment; Nexus between Proposed String
and Community; Registration Policies, and Community Endorsement. An application must score at least 14 points to prevail in a community priority evaluation.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:102.0pt;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:1.4rem;margin:1.25rem">
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">At various points in the implementation of the New gTLDProgram, the Board (and the Board New gTLD Program Committee) have discussed various aspects of CPE. Recently, the Board has discussed some issues with the CPE process, including
certain issues that were identified in the Final Declaration from the Independent Review Process (IRP) proceeding initiated by Dot Registry LLC. The Board is taking action at this time to direct the President and CEO, or his designee(s), to undertake a review
of the process by which ICANN staff interacts with the CPE provider in issuing its CPE reports.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:102.0pt;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:1.4rem;margin:1.25rem">
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">The review should include an overall evaluation of staff's interaction with the CPE provider, as well as any interaction staff may have with respect to the CPE provider preparing its CPE reports. The Board's action to initiate
this review is intended to have a positive impact on the community as it will help to provide greater transparency into the CPE evaluation process. Additionally, by undertaking additional due diligence in the administration of the CPE process, the Board intends
this review to help gather additional facts and information that may be helpful in addressing uncertainty about staff interaction with the CPE provider.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
