&gt; No problem on Bruce&#39;s suggestion, but I think staff is getting a bad rap here. We spoke about the length of the comment period on several calls, and I think many of us saw value in analyzing comments prior to BA.  This wasn&#39;t staff&#39;s call.<br>

SO:<br>
Absolute +1. I think we throw so much of blame at staff, forgetting that some of issues were our call(re: accountability of the community itself).  Unfortunately customer is always right would apply to staff.</p>

&gt; &gt;&gt; Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] about the CCWG 30-day comment period<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Note on behalf of Thomas, Leon and Mathieu about the CCWG proposal 30-day<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; public comment period.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Hi everyone,<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; We have seen comments about the 30-day public comment period.  You will<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; remember this has been our intention since we discussed planning in<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Istanbul, and we concluded this discussion on the CCWG call of 30 April.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; The outcome was to propose the first public comment should be for 30<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; days, which would allow time for us to prepare a response for the ICANN<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; meeting in  Buenos Aires.  It is particularly important that we are able<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; to respond to the dependencies identified by the CWG-Stewardship.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Recognizing that the shorter public comment is not ideal for a subject of<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; such importance to the community, we also took into account the fact that<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; we will to hold a second public comment period some weeks after ICANN53<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; when we will seek input on any outstanding issues and provide details and<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; explanation prompted by discussions with the community from the first<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; public comment and during ICANN53.<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; The public comment announcement includes the remark &quot;Because this (first)<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; Public Comment period is less than the required 40-day minimum, it has<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; been approved by two ICANN Global Leaders.&quot;  The term Global Leaders is a<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; reference to senior members of the ICANN staff and the condition was<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; created to ensure that a check existed so that a single ICANN department<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; would not depart from the standard default time period without broader<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; senior staff input.  The public comment guidelines and procedures are<br>
&gt; &gt;&gt; available on the public wiki<br>
