Folks,

Here is the draft of the 2020 work plan. The major difference from last year is that we will begin the ICANN Board appointment process for Seat 9. I've tried to incorporate the comments received during our working session in Nov.

ASO AC Work Plan for 2020
  1. Appoint the ASO AC Chair and Vice Chairs
    1. Early in January of the new year, hold an electronic vote for the Chair for that year. (The list of candidates and the voting timetable, should have been finalized during December of the previous year.)

  9. Participate in RIR Global policy process and tracking of ongoing Global Policy Proposals (GPPs)
    1. The Policy Proposal Facilitator Team will help the ASO AC determine if an RIR policy proposal can potentially be a GPP. If so, the PPFT will track the proposal through each region’s PDP. And produce a report for the ASO AC to help assess if the requirements are met.
    2. The ASO AC will forward the GPP to the ICANN Board along with the AC’s assessment of the GPP.

    4. Hold discussions with the ICANN Board and other ICANN groups. Identify topics and start scheduling early to minimize conflict.
