The GNSO is the primary engine within the [[ICANN]] community for developing, recommending changes, and making modifications to [[gTLD|generic top-level domain]] policies. The GNSO aims to identify ways to improve the inclusiveness and representativeness of its work while increasing its effectiveness and efficiency.
The GNSO is the primary engine within the [[ICANN]] community for developing, recommending changes, and making modifications to [[gTLD|generic top-level domain]] policies. The GNSO aims to identify ways to improve the inclusiveness and representativeness of its work while increasing its effectiveness and efficiency.
===History===
An important GNSO improvement was the development of recommendations for the new GNSO policy development process.
In '''June 2008''', the [[ICANN Board]] launched a set of recommendations for improving the effectiveness of the GNSO. These recommendations were related to GNSO activities, operations, and structure.
====2008 Recommended GNSO Improvements====
The GNSO Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) is responsible for reviewing and assessing the effective functioning of recommendations provided by the Operational Steering Committee (OSC) and Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC) and approved by the GNSO Council.
The main areas of GNSO improvements approved by the ICANN Board fell into five categories:
# Creating a Working Group Model
# Revising the Policy Development Process ([[PDP]])
# Restructuring GNSO Council
# Improving communication and coordination among [[ICANN Bodies]]
# Advancing constituency procedures <ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/ GNSO improvements]</ref>
'''February 2020''' saw the culmination of a GNSO initiative called "PDP 3.0," when the GNSO released the "Final Report on the Implementation of GNSO Policy Development Process 3.0."
GNSO Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI). The SCI will be responsible for reviewing and assessing the effective functioning of recommendations provided by the Operational Steering Committee (OSC) and Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC) and approved by the GNSO Council.
[[PDP]] 3.0 refers to the GNSO Council initiative to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the process. During a GNSO Council’s Strategic Planning Session (SPS) in January 2018, a staff paper on GNSO PDP was shared, which led the GNSO Council to deliberate over the issues raised and identify challenges and improvements, especially concerning [[working groups]]. Then, the GNSO Council organize a session with PDP working group leadership and the broader community, which resulted in an updated version of the paper in May 2018. On October 24, 2018, the GNSO Council adopted 14 of the 17 recommendations listed in PDP 3.0.<ref>[https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/pdp-final-report-10feb20-en.pdf PDP 3.0 Final Report p.3]</ref>
The Policy Development Process (PDP) Updates are one-page documents prepared by ICANN staff to inform the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) and other interested parties about potential opportunities to engage in and contribute to on-going GNSO PDP efforts. They are published on a regular basis and translations of these can be found on the GAC website. Please, also refer to our GNSO Policy Briefing for information on these and other GNSO activities.
====PDP 3.0====
=====The recommended improvements=====
Recommendations:
# Terms of participation for working group members

# Criteria for joining of new members after a PDP working group is formed or
re-chartered
# Consensus playbook

# Document expectations for working group leaders that outline role &
responsibilities as well as minimum skills/expertise required
# Provide further guidance for section 3.6 (Standard Methodology for Decision
Making) and clarification of section 3.7 in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines
# Enforce deadlines and ensure bite-size pieces
# Notification to Council of changes in the work plan
# Review of working group leadership
