color=#0000ff size=2>It seems to me that fixing the language is very
doable. I would also be open to adjusting some language that recognizes
that it is understood that the 2nd draft will involve considerable effort in
responding to the many constructive comments that have been submitted. My
intent is not to short circuit the time needed to make sure that that the final
product is as good as possible. At the same time I do believe that the
orginal goals with regard to the communication period can be achieved with
the changes this motion suggests or some similar version of
them.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

accurate to say "[some/several/most] constituencies within the GNSO
wish to minimize any further delays" or, depending on how it looks the vote
will go "the GNSO Council wishes to minimize any further delays".
It is not, however, accurate to say "the GNSO wishes to minimize any further
delays". As long as certain constituencies or portions of
constituencies believe that further implementation work is necessary and
doing that work will result in delay, it's simply not possible
to refer to the entire GNSO.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Guideline E states, “The application submission date will be at least
four months after the issue of the Request for Proposal and ICANN will
promote the opening of the application round.” (See Final Report, Part
A, Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains, dated 8 August 2007 at

) <BR>The intent of the GNSO with regard to Guideline E was to attempt
to ensure that all potential applicants, including those that have not
been active in recent ICANN activities regarding the introduction of new
gTLDs, would be informed of the process and have reasonable time to
prepare a proposal if they so desire. <BR>The minimum 4-month period for
promoting the opening of the application round is commonly referred to
as the ‘Communications Period’. <BR>Considerable delays have been
incurred in the implementation of new gTLDs and the GNSO wishes to
minimize any further delays. <BR>It appears evident that a second Draft
Applicant Guidebook (RFP) will be posted at some time after the end of
the two 45-day public comment periods related to the initial version of
the Guidebook (in English and other languages).
