<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Earlier this year the ICANN Policy Development Support Team
took on the implementation of specific ATRT2 recommendations looking to evolve
and improve various aspects of the ICANN Public Comments infrastructure and
operations. <u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">As part of those staff implementation obligations, my team
committed to assessing the implementation effort and to producing a report of
that analysis for the community by the end of this year. I am pleased to
share that the assessment report has now been completed and is posted on the
community wiki at this link - <a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56987496" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56987496</a>.
A pdf version of the report is available to download from that page.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">To help staff anticipate, envision and prepare for future
improvements regarding how the organization manages, maintains and supports
future community input streams, we are forming a staff Public Input Advisory
Team pulling in representatives from different staff teams to share their
perspectives. I am hopeful that we’ll be able to incorporate input and
collaboration opportunities with community members to make that a practical,
useful and valuable effort. If you or any member of community would be
interested in contributing to such an effort, please drop me a line. We
hope to get the group together at least once before the ICANN55 Marrakech
meeting.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
