The recommendations contained in the review team's Final Report often address issues or programs that are also the subject of the [[Policy Development Process for New gTLD Subsequent Procedures]] (SUBPRO). As a result, the [[ICANN Board]] passed many of the recommendations to the SUBPRO Working Group for deliberation and action within that policy development process.<ref name="scorecard">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-final-cct-recs-scorecard-01mar19-en.pdf Recommendation Scorecard - Resolution of the ICANN Board], March 1, 2019 (PDF)</ref>

===Board Reception and March 2019 Recommendation Scorecard===

The six recommendations that were accepted tended toward broad outlines of policy guidance, rather than specific policies:

In explaining its decision making rationales, the Board identified three common themes in the recommendations:
 +
<blockquote>One theme is the need for different and additional data that is highlighted across many of the 35 recommendations. The Board appreciates and understands the concerns raised by the CCT-RT about the need for data to inform future CCT-RT's work. The Board finds it important that ICANN continues to be appropriately involved with data collection to inform the community and its work...
 +
 +
The second theme relates to recommendations directed to the Board that are not within the Board's power to do, and recommendations that the Board actually cannot direct the outcome of, such as recommendations to policy development working groups, or relating to contractual terms that are subjected to contractual negotiations...
 +
 +
Another theme is that there are recommendations that require significant resources to implement. The Board's fiduciary obligations mean that it cannot commit the organization to start work on these recommendations until it understands the full cost and resource impact.<ref name="bres" /></blockquote>
 +
 +
Of the themes identified, the Board seemed to find the resource allocation issue to be paramount. Noting that other specific reviews as well as other substantial policy deliberations were ongoing, the Board stated that it was obliged to balance the needs of the stakeholder community as well as the core mission of stability and security of the DNS.<ref name="bres" />

===October 2020 Scorecard on Pending Recommendations===
 +
In October 2020, the Board took action on eleven of the seventeen pending recommendations.<ref name="octbres">[https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2020-10-22-en#2.a ICANN Board Resolution], October 22, 2020</ref> The Board issued another scorecard to identify and discuss the approved recommendations.<ref name="octscorecard">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cct-pending-recs-board-action-22oct20-en.pdf ICANN Board - CCT 1 Recommendation Scorecard], October 22, 2020</ref> The majority of the approved recommendations involved data collection or analysis. In many cases, the Board acknowledged that data collection suggested by the recommendations was already occurring. In other cases, the Board instructed ICANN staff to initiate studies or analysis related to the recommendations.<ref name="octscorecard" /> The Board instructed ICANN staff to continue work regarding the six remaining pending recommendations.</ref name="octbres" />
