We started first to review the tasks given by GNSO council in the initiation request for GGP, the relevant material like the applicant support recommendations report, relevant part of subpro final report and the implementation review report of the applicant support program. We have already delivert to the GNSO council the project plan and timeline .</div><div>We are currently giving input/comment on the format and listing possible metrics following the applicant support program lifecycle element like outreach, submission or delegation. Discussion is moving slowly but starting to get its pace.</div><div><br></div><div>We also had some presentations from the ICANN GDS division (Global Domains & Strategy) as they were responsible of implementation, about learnings from the applicant support program in the previous new gTLD round and also about the ODA (Operational Design Phase) for new subpro recommendations. It is acknowledged that the ICANN board will likely make decisions based on the ODA report for subpro before GGP delivers its recommendations. However, the GNSO council will submit the GGP recommendations report when it's done and approved to the ICANN board for consideration.</div><div><br></div><div>sharing here the tasks requested to the GGP working group for reference:</div><div><br></div><div><i>Task 3 – Analyze the set of suggested metrics in Implementation Guidance 17.9<br>and propose which ones should be prioritized. The set of prioritized metrics is<br>NOT limited to what is identified in 17.9<br> Task 4 – Identify any other appropriate metrics and measures of success to help<br>in identifying the necessary program elements and measuring program success<br>after the fact. In identifying the suggested set of metrics, propose how data can be<br>collected, how metrics can be measured, who can collect the data, as well as what<br>represents success.<br> Task 5 – Consider, and to the extent feasible, suggest how the “outreach,<br>education, business case development, and application evaluation” elements of<br>the Applicant Support Program may be impacted by the identified metrics and<br>measures of success. For example, based on the success metrics for Awareness<br>and Education, this may impact the approach for performing outreach and<br>education. To the extent feasible, suggest an approach to outreach, education,<br>business case development, and application evaluation assistance.<br></i></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>happy to answer further questions.<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Rafik</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Le mar. 14 févr. 2023 à 22:05, Kathy Kleiman <<a href="mailto:Kathy@kathykleiman.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Kathy@kathykleiman.com</a>> a écrit :<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Support. The GGP Working Group is beginning
its work with Task 2: “identify experts with
expertise to aid in tasks 3, 4, and 5” (see
pages 3-5 of the Initiation Request). The GGP
Initiation Request envisioned that the Working
Group has the flexibility/discretion to rely
on the advice of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
in specific fields to aid in deliberations for
certain tasks pertaining to Task 3, 4, and 5
as detailed in the Initiation Request. But the
Initiation Request also listed related
experience and skills GGP Working Group
members should have, suggesting a possible
overlap between GGP members and SMEs. Thus, it
may be that your organization has already
appointed members to the GGP Working Group
that you consider SMEs based on this guidance
from the Initiation Request</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14.6667px">:</span> </p>
