The comments referenced below were received before the opening of the ICG public comment period. It is a good question whether we should at this point suspend the forum so that people are not confused about how to submit comments to us, as we have separate submission mechanisms for public comments about the transition proposal. I will raise this with the ICG.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Alissa</div><br><div><div>On Aug 7, 2015, at 5:36 AM, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <<a href="mailto:ocl@gih.com">ocl@gih.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">Dear Jonathan and Alissa,<br><br>I have a question about process here: how are the ICG and the CWG treating comments that fall outside a public consultation period? Are these receiving special treatment and if so, why? I note the CWG has just opened a public consultation period - should these comment have gone into the CWG consultation rather than using this seemingly special track?<br>Kindest regards,<br><br>Olivier<br><br><div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 28/07/2015 11:54, Jonathan Robinson wrote:<br></div><blockquote cite="mid:009a01d0c91b$7565cc10$60316430$@afilias.info" type="cite"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Alissa,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Thank-you for this, please do go ahead and send the ICG thoughts on this through to the CWG.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Jonathan<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></div><div><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 3pt 0cm 0cm;"><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Alissa Cooper [<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="mailto:alissa@cooperw.in" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">mailto:alissa@cooperw.in</a>]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>27 July 2015 16:39<br><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:cwg-stewardship@icann.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">cwg-stewardship@icann.org</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>IANA<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:cwg-stewardship@icann.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;"><cwg-stewardship@icann.org></a><br><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[CWG-Stewardship] Comments from Richard Hill<o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">CWG,<o:p></o:p></p><div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The ICG has received the following from Richard Hill: <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://mm.ianacg.org/pipermail/icg-forum_ianacg.org/2015-June/000001.html" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: purple;">http://mm.ianacg.org/pipermail/icg-forum_ianacg.org/2015-June/000001.html</span></a>> According to the process the ICG uses to handle forum comments <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/Community-Comments-Handling-1May15-final.pdf" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/Community-Comments-Handling-1May15-final.pdf</a>>, the ICG assesses whether the comments are to be investigated by the operational community itself, and if we draw that conclusion we make the OC aware of the comment and ask whether the OC has any input.
