I understand there might be some frustration over the time it has taken to get here, but in light of the many parallel projects currently underway, such as RAA negotiations & registrant bill of rights, several significant amendments to the IRTP, and our new gTLD operational readiness initiatives, I think the state of progress is about where we might have expected it to be, and is in fact, more or less on target with our original project plan.</i></div><div style="font-size: medium; "><i><br></i></div><div style="font-size: medium; "><i>The one last bit we need to do before rollout of the ERRP is get input from affected parties (registries, registrars) about the amount of time they will reasonably need to implement the policy changes. The PEDNR implementation review team can expect to hear from me about that tomorrow. With regard to PEDNR’s recommendation to create educational materials, we are scheduled to join ALAC on its 26 February call to initiate the recommended consultative process. We will also need to engage registrars and other stakeholders and are in the process of determining what might be appropriate for the Beijing meeting. Obviously, the consultation with ALAC, registrars, and other stakeholders will require more time than would have been required were we to develop materials in house, but this is the course the GNSO and the Board recommended, and I think it will result in a better final product.</i></div><div style="font-size: medium; "><i><br></i></div><div style="font-size: medium; "><i>I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. And as always, I’m available to councilors off list if they have questions they’d prefer to ask directly.</i></div><div style="font-size: medium; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; ">With best regards,</div><div style="font-size: medium; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; ">Marika</div><div style="font-size: medium; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; ">Sr. Policy Director</div><div style="font-size: medium; ">ICANN</div><div style="font-size: medium; "><br></div></div><br></body></html>
