<!--StartFragment--><p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<br>
<br>
Please excuse my silence in this discussion so far, but I was on a family holiday in the Swiss Alps and
taken up with grand-parental duties.<br>
<br>
I had a brief Skype chat exchange with Niels a few days ago, confirming that the letter had
been drafted before completion of the Considerations document. Meanwhile, we
have followed the exchanges on this list and concur to a large extent with the
collective interpretation of the Board letter. We had thought that the letter was clear, but
of course there is always room for improvement!<br>
<br>
In any case, let me sum up below the Board objective in sending the letter:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The objective was to both to congratulate
the Subgroup on the progress of its work to date, and to let the Subgroup know
that the Board asked ICANN organization to conduct an impact assessment of the
current draft FoI recommendations (including the Considerations document).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of this request is to help
understand how the implementation of the Framework of Interpretation might
impact ICANN's work and identify if there are any issues from this implementation
that might need to be addressed or mitigated. This assessment will be shared
with the community to help inform the community in its final deliberations on
the Subgroup's work. The Subgroup as well as the CCWG are encouraged to provide
examples of how the FoI is to be implemented and the areas of work that the FoI
is expected to impact to assist with this impact assessment.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I hope this helps clarify things.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">With best wishes for a happy holiday weekend and best regards</p><p class="MsoNormal">Markus</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
