Why is it only now after the process is complete and the recommendations have been through extensive public comment periods, a final report, a drafting team's final report and a couple of years, that we find out icann compliance cannot or will not do some of the requested activities?<br><br>I believe public comment periods at a minimum should not only be for the community to make comment, but MUST also be used by ICANN staff to make their comments known. It cannot always be that icann staff waits until after something gets completely through a process to reveal for the first time that there is an issue. Too many people work too hard on these groups to do what they believe is right and in the best interests of the community only to find out after the entire process that ICANN staff does not want to do something or cannot do something.<br><br>I realize this was not a PDP, but this issue was discussed by the PDP Work Team and this type of feedback is explicitly called out.<br><br>I would like to hear from ICANN staff on the call tomorrow about what we can do moving forward to get this feedback earlier in the process.<br><br>Thanks. <br>Jeffrey J.
