<span style="color:black">The inventory is intended to be a preliminary gap analysis of the above-noted WS2 recommendations, mapped to your group’s current governance documents (e.g. your Charter or group bylaws) and, where applicable, operating procedures.
The attached document covers Recommendations 6.1 - 6.5. Staff is currently conducting a similar mapping exercise for Recommendations 1.2 - 1.6 that we will circulate when complete.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

3</span></a>), these were the subject of discussion at the SOAC Chairs Roundtable meeting in June as they are recommendations for which either community coordination and prioritization may be required or information sharing beneficial. In this regard, we hope
that your group will be able to provide your opinion as to whether you support the suggestion to have an ad-hoc group of community representatives perform that coordination, prioritization and information-sharing work. As we mentioned on last Thursday’s call,
ICANN org has asked that the SOAC Chairs revert with their respective community’s feedback by the next Roundtable meeting (currently expected to take place in September.)<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span style="color:black">We wish to emphasize that the Cross-Community Working Group on Accountability for WS2 made it clear that decisions as to implementation and prioritization of these recommendations are voluntary. We are also mindful of the community’s
workload, especially at this time and in consideration of the many important policy topics that your group is working on. We therefore hope that the staff-prepared inventory is helpful to your group’s review of the relevant recommendations. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

recommendation, the next step can be to determine the relative priority, timeline and implementation method for each such recommendation. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
