== Guidelines ==

In August 2016, the IRT Principles and Guidelines was published as part of the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group Final ~~Recommedations~~ Report. Since the adoption and the implementation of the Recommendations Report, IRTs have been formed and operated under those principles and guidelines.<ref name="cpif"></ref>

=== CPIF ===

The [[Consensus Policy Implementation Framework]] (CPIF), a document by ICANN org, provides a holistic framework for an implementation process involving several distinct parties. However, its ICANN org-specific focus means that it exists alongside, and in some cases, duplicates alternative implementation guidance produced by the GNSO, notably the IRT Principles and Guidelines. This may lead to confusion regarding the convening of the IRT and its responsibilities.<ref name="cpif"></ref>

Before the publication of the Guidelines, each team created its own scope, mailing list, and meeting cadence.

The first documented IRT was the PEDNR Implementation Review Team, as described in the Approved Board Resolutions on October 28, 2011: "The GNSO Council shall convene a PEDNR Implementation Review Team to assist ICANN Staff in developing the implementation details for the new policy should it be approved by the ICANN Board. The Implementation Review Team will be tasked with evaluating the proposed implementation of the policy recommendations as approved by the Board and is expected to work with ICANN Staff to ensure that the resultant implementation meets the letter and intent of the approved policy."<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-dakar-28-10-2011-en]</ref>
