Parties participated in Phase 1 under a common commitment and assumption that work would continue with similar urgency in Phase 2. Phase 1 took eight months to go from initiation (approved 19 July 2018) to publication of a Final Report (20 Feb 2019). The proposed Phase 2 schedule will take twelve months. While such a schedule is aggressive, we believe an expedited schedule is needed in order to maintain progress, and are not convinced that Phase 2 contains so much more work than Phase 1 did.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We propose that the target for the Initial Report be late November, as it was for Phase 1. This will allow the required thirty-day public comment period to end before the December holidays, as it did in Phase 1. The proposal for Phase 2 seems to include a sixty-day public comment running from the beginning of December to the end of January. Sixty days is excessive, even if it stretches over the holiday season. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The revision of the Phase 2 Initial Report is proposed to last three months. Revision of the Phase 1 report took just thirty normal days (Phase 1 went forty days, ten of which was dead time at the late December holidays). We believe that the target for the Phase 2 Final Report can be in advance of ICANN67 in March 2019, giving the Council time to consider the recommendations and vote on them at or before ICANN67.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We believe that the above is aggressive but workable because:<o:p></o:p></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>The current proposal is for only one ePDP call in some weeks.
