<div>Hi Paul -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your last question is a good one, and I think somewhat dependent upon what actions are taken by the CCWG between the close of comments on the 21st and their earlier commitment to have a report ready for the Board in late January. It’s possible that they
make substantive changes, prompting a new round of comments, but I think we should be prepared for the contingency that they do not.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The proposal/motion on the 14th would be to accept the comment as drafted by the subteam (thanks for volunteering, btw), which will be a synthesis of GNSO comments received on the 21st, in response to the Third Draft Report. If their is a “Fourth Draft
Report”, then I agree we should restart this process to consider any changes & new language. Rinse, repeat.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks—</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>J.</div>

so far) should meet early in the week of 3 JAN, with a Council-level discussion later that week (7 JAN as you suggested), with a drop-dead formal vote on the issue scheduled for 14 JAN. I believe this last date is already on our calendars, but I will ask
Glen to confirm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">Thanks, Phil. And generally, I believe your message below captures the challenges we (and other SO/ACs) face when asked to provide feedback in a compressed time
frame, that also happens to collide with year-end holidays. My availability is similar to yours, NamesCon included, and from talking with Marika I think we should expect reduced support from Staff as well.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">Given that our call on 17 DEC ran fairly long and you & several others had to drop, I wanted to share the way we left things with Thomas Rickert regarding GNSO
feedback on the CCWG’s latest draft:</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;"> — The GNSO, as a Chartering Organization of the CCWG, was unlikely to submit any formal comments by 21 DEC.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;"> — Several SGs and Cs within the GNSO Community would, however, submit their comments by Monday. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">I propose that we draft a letter to the CCWG next week, reiterating that we would not weigh in as an SO, but instead link to comments submitted by SGs and Cs (target:
24 DEC). And next, that we form a subteam (me and any other volunteers) to review submitted comments and draft a formal GNSO position for review by the Council (target: 7 JAN).</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As I had to leave yesterday’s extended Council call a few minutes before it concluded, I am wondering whether any structure/schedule was agreed to for our consideration of the 3<sup>rd</sup> CCWG-ACCT Proposal
in our role as a Chartering Organization?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Will we be scheduling additional calls to consider key aspects of the Proposal, especially those that elicit comments expressing concern or suggesting modifications? How will we handle drafting of a Resolution
expressing Council’s view on behalf of the GNSO? And what is our target date for reaching a final decision?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For the record, I am available and willing to participate in calls next week (suggesting that any such call be after 12/21 to allow time for review of submitted comments) and during the first week of January.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">From December 26-January 3<sup>rd</sup> I shall be on vacation and intend to unplug from the grid to the maximum extent possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">From January 9-13 I and 900-plus other members of the domain community will be attending NamesCon and I will have limited availability to join any call. I am departing the conference in the middle of its last day
