Council meeting.* <https://community.icann.org/x/RgZlAg>

*Item 3: Consent Agenda (0 minutes) *

   - None

*Item 4: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – GNSO Projects List Review (70 minutes)*

During the GNSO Council’s Strategic Planning Session in January 2020, the
Council agreed that close review of the GNSO Projects List
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/project>is a critically important part
of its role as manager of the PDP process. The Council also acknowledged
that due to full agendas and time constraints, a thorough review of the
project list during Council meetings in the past was often not feasible .

With a pipeline full of additional new work and an already brimming current
set of projects, ensuring that current work is as well positioned as
possible to succeed, but also recognizing areas of concerns, are important
areas of focus for the GNSO Council.

Here, the Council will conduct a thorough and detailed review of the
Projects List. This item was deferred from the February 2020 GNSO Council
meeting.

4.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)

4.2 – Council discussion

4.3 – Next steps

*Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – GNSO Work Prioritization - 2020 Work Plan (30
minutes)*

Continuing the theme from item 4 of this agenda, the GNSO Council
acknowledged that there are limited resources available for policy
development activities and related work. This resource limitation means
that the GNSO Council must efficiently complete its current work as noted
in item 4, but also prioritize the new work waiting in its pipeline. At the
Strategic Planning Session, Councilors participated in an informal and
non-binding ranking survey, which was used as a “sense of the room.” This
informational survey result was shared with Councilors to then share with
their respective Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, to gain a better
sense of the various groups’ top priorities. The Council touched on this
topic briefly during the February Council meeting but will devote a larger
block of time during its March meeting.

Here, the Council will continue its discussions on which new work should be
prioritized for initiation, when capacity within the community becomes
available.

5.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership)

5.2 – Council discussion

5.3 – Next steps

*Item 6: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (0 minutes)*

   - None
