Dear Julf,

We are writing to follow up on the NCSG’s continuing implementation of 
those Work Stream 2 (WS2) recommendations that were directed towards the 
community. As you know, implementation of all WS2 recommendations 
involves work by the ICANN Board, the org and the community. You can 
find information about the work that is being done regarding WS2 
Implementation here 
<https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Implementation>, including 
progress reports.

With regard to community implementation of the relevant recommendations, 
you may recall that ICANN org conducted a mapping inventory of *WS2 
Recommendations 2 and 6 (**Good Faith* 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-acct-ws2-annex-2-good-faith-guidelines-final-recs-27mar18-en.pdf>*and 
**Accountability* 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-acct-ws2-annex-6-soac-final-recs-27mar18-en.pdf>*)*for 
each Supporting Organization (SO), Advisory Committee (AC), Regional At 
Large Organization (RALO), GNSO Stakeholder Group (SG), and GNSO 
Constituency (C). As we noted when first circulating each group’s 
initial inventory, our objective in preparing it was to assist with each 
group’s implementation of these two WS2 recommendations by providing it 
with a draft list of its existing procedures and asking that each group 
*confirm the accuracy of the list and determine if further work by your 
group is needed*. Please *acknowledge and formally sign off the 
recommendation, if no formal objections are raised, the status quo will 
be deemed accepted*. You can find your group’s inventory here 
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xxPZjIjrjLBiKjcgWKbhhxWhbsBdcRudCqRDl4W5UlY/edit?usp=sharing>on 
this link.

The inventory is intended to be a*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. Our colleagues who support the other SOs/ACs, including the 
GNSO Council, are conducting the same exercise with these groups to 
ensure that the community inventorying is done in a uniform format.

As a next step, we will be happy to support your group in this effort. 
If there is a specific point of contact or any particular members of 
your group that we should be working with, we will be grateful if you 
can let us know who they are. We would also like to suggest 15 September 
2023**as a possible due date to aim for completing the initial inventory 
review for Recommendation 6. *Please let us know if you would like us to 
schedule a call with you or your group’s representatives to discuss the 
inventory* *and next steps.*

Best regards,

Alperen Eken (On behalf of the team supporting WS2 community 
implementation efforts)
