Thanks, that is very reassuring. Those of you who are living this
process day in day out may underestimate how hard it is for those
who arrive at the proposal cold, to get up to speed. Jumping in to
transcripts at any given point is, I can testify, more alarming than
enlightening.<br>
Kind regards.<br>

<div>Hi Stephanie,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The second public comment period will run for 40 days.
The CCWG has already taken community feedback into account
from the first public comment period, from public sessions
in Buenos Aires, from written feedback from the Board and
the GAC, and from our recent face-to-face meeting in
Paris. It will do so again following the second public
comment period. Forty days should be sufficient time for
all ICANN groups and interested parties to consider the
proposal and give informed comment. The CCWG wants lots of
public comments, and is not afraid. :-)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think it's also important to note the proposal
currently under discussion changes nothing about ICANN's
day-to-day, month-to-month, or even year-to-year
operations and community engagement structures. Only in
very rare cases would the proposed Sole Member community
empowerment model come into play. In my opinion, its
existence would be a powerful deterrent to bad behavior
and would therefore become an available but largely
unneeded tool. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While the anticipated model establishes important
checks and balances and shared authority through a
community empowerment mechanism, with an escalation path
to enforce them, it otherwise doesn't structurally change
ICANN at all. I hope and expect this will become more
clear once the proposal is posted for the next round of
public consideration and comment. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I
acknowledge there is more work to be done around the
vote balance issue (as I said in an earlier email), but
I'm confident we can resolve the issue satisfactorily
following the receipt of additional community feedback.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>

<div>As one of the folks who does not have the massive
amount of time required to participate in these
important negotiations, but is nevertheless very
interested, may I submit the following:<br>
1. I agree with Chris, this is a point of fundamental
fairness. Slow down.<br>
2. As I think it was George S has said, there is never
time to do it right, but always time to do it over. Why
not negotiate for more time to complete the report?<br>
3. I agree with many of the points that Ed Morris has
recently raised, and am truly alarmed at all the
proposed structural changes that are being bandied
about, without really profound discussion at the
community level. I am afraid you are going to get a lot
of comments. Please allow enough time for the public to
read and decipher the report, and draft their own
thoughtful responses.<br>
<br>
Thanks to you all for the prodigious amount of work you
have done. <br>

I see it, one of the important results of this
debate is that we try to achieve consensus. It
is also apparent that there is considerable
interest in filing minority reports. But the
deadline for doing so appears to be very tight,
and I am not sure of the rationale for doing so.
There is always a need for an appropriate amount
of time to properly draft a dissenting report.
In my view it would be unfortunate if those who
wish to file minority reports were excluded by a
timetable which prohibited proper consideration.
I raise this as an issue of fairness, and wonder
if it is possible to extend this out a little
further.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
