Thank you, Rafik, for sharing this. I agree with co-signing this letter to the board. Both the section on timelines (to your point, Rafik), and transparency are important and reflect longstanding points for which the NCSG has actively advocated.</div>

<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The RrSG has drafted a letter which we intend to send to the ICANN Board of Directors.
<b>I am sharing it to ask if the NCSG would be interested in co-signing this letter;</b> I will be sending it to the other GNSO group leaders for their consideration as well.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SxqrCp0pn_4Qi5r5pkz_aVK3ezc-s6CD6Lrwt7TqAhU/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.aymtpx8rkma7" target="_blank">Implementation of GNSO-Approved Policy Recommendations: input regarding
timeline and transparency</a><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">This letter started life as a response to the Board's failure to approve the Transfer PDP WG's Recommendations at their most recent meeting. Rather than focusing on that one PDP's output, however, we want to address
the broader issues of <b>lack of clear timelines and transparency for the Board's review process. </b></font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I am aiming to send this on <b>25 May</b> although that can be pushed to the 30th if needed. If you are interested in signing on (and relatedly providing edits) please let us know! If not it would also help to know
that as we may send it sooner. </font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">We look forward to hearing your thoughts, and to seeing you in Seville. </font></p>
