At the beginning February 2018, the [[NCPH Intersessional]] meeting took place in Los Angeles. One of the sessions was devoted to SSR2, as well as the planning for and initiation of the [[Third GNSO Organizational Review]].<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/ncph/Intersessional+2018+-+Meeting+Agenda NCPH Workspace - 2018 Intersessional Meeting Agenda], February 2018</ref> During the plenary session, which was attended by members of the OEC, [[Susan Kawaguchi]] from the GNSO Council provided a status update as it related to the GNSO's communication with the other SOs and ACs:
<blockquote>We just finalized a letter to the SO and AC leaders, trying to come to consensus, come to the middle ground to figure out a way to move forward with putting this team back to work un-suspending it and move on, but with the right resources and
talent and expertise. So we're taking this very seriously. You know, I'm sort of developing into a process person. If you have a process, it's much easier than designing it on the fly, and unfortunately the board's action has now, you know, everybody sort of had to sit back and go, "Oh, what do we do now?" The GNSO, through Heather, is trying to lead that and has proposed several paths forward. One is the facilitator for the whole team to, review team, to really decide what they need and somebody to work with them.
What I don't think they need, and this is a personal opinion, is SO and AC leaders, even Heather as chair as GNSO, saying this is what you need, review team. Having sat - now I'm on my second review team, it's really important to maintain that independence. So that's what the GNSO is leading - is pushing for. We would like to see this, you know, move on. It's important work. And then take the learnings from it and develop a process.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/69278510/transcript_intersessional_plenary7_020218.pdf Meeting Transcript - 2018 Intersessional], February 2, 2018</ref></blockquote>
Later that month, the SOAC chairs again communicated with the review team, presenting a status update and findings from additional communications and a survey of team members.<ref name="febletter">[https://community.icann.org/display/SSR/Correspondence?preview=/60489949/79434947/20180212%20SOAC%20Chair%20Message%20on%20Status%20of%20SSR2.pdf ICANN.org - SOAC Chairs Message on SSR2 Status], February 12, 2018</ref> As forecast at the Intersessional, the letter noted that survey comments from team members led the SO/AC leadership to conclude that there was "insufficient alignment within the SSR2-RT on many issues ranging from mission/scope to process/leadership."<ref name="febletter" /> To address this misalignment, the SOAC chairs requested that the [[OEC]] provide a neutral facilitator to work with the group to identify common ground and re-orient the goals and expectations of the team.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/soac-chairs-to-koubaa-15feb18-en.pdf ICANN.org - SOAC letter to OEC], February 15, 2018</ref> The OEC agreed, and set about working with the SOAC chairs to identify the required skills and experience that the facilitator should have.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/koubaa-to-soac-chairs-03mar18-en.pdf Letter from Khaled Koubaa to SOAC Chairs], March 3, 2018</ref>
