==Implementation Planning Phase==
At [[ICANN 76]], the [[GNSO Council]] agreed to form a small team of councilors to review the pending recommendations and suggest how to address the underlying concerns. The Council SubPro Small Team completed an initial run-through of the issues chart and proposed paths forward for each pending recommendation to be presented in the Council's dialogue with the ICANN Board on May 22, 2023.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Final+Proposed+Agenda+2023-05-25 Final Proposed Agenda for 05/25/2023, GNSO Council Meetings]</ref>
