All,
I thought I would copy to this group the email I just sent to the
CCWG-Accountability on ICANN public comment period duration. It's just a
process point, but an important one.

All:
I wanted to make sure you were aware that the ICANN public comment periods
were changed in January 2015. The minimum public comment period is no
longer 21 days with a 21 day reply period. Instead, it is a single
(minimum) 40 day comment period. This is apparently a response to certain
ATRT2 recommendations. See:
https://community.icann.org/display/soaceabout/Announcement+Letter+to+ICANN+Executive+Team
There were two community webinars on 22 January announcing "Public Comment
Enhancements" (this and the other changes in the above document). See
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-01-16-en. The announcement of
the webinar mentions the "suspension" of the reply period and the new 40
day minimum period.
Webinar materials (slide deck, transcripts, etc.) are here:
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=51418375
Aside from the webinar announcement, I don't believe there was a formal
announcement to the community of the change in public comment periods. As
a result, there still seems to be some lack of knowledge of this change.
I hope this helps.
