Rafik, <br><br>
You may not have the authority to change it but you in your role of GNSO
Council Liaison, you do have the authority to being the request to the
Council Chair and the Council. This report not being considered by
the Council until September is fine. Perhaps there can be a smaller
extension and then use the mechanisms you suggest.<br><br>
On those, a Wiki link is NOT acceptable. The statements need to be
integrated into the report.<br><br>
I STRONGLY suggest that past whatever the initial publication deadline
is, you publish a REVISED report incorporating new statements no less
than once a week. That way whenever someone pulls the report, they get
the most recent version. The effort to insert a statement and recreate
the PDF is minimal and this gives the minority statement the respect that
they are due.<br><br>

As you know, we were asked by the GNSO council to submit a final report
by 31st July at the latest. I don't have the mandate or the ability to
change that. <br><br>
However to respond to this request to the extent of possible and
permissible, we will have a wiki page where minority statements will get
posted and include that link in an annex to the Final Report. The other
option in the same fashion would be to get the annex attached to the
final report when ready and still submitting the final report by the
deadline. Whatever is received by the deadline will go in immediately
into the report and anything after that will just get added later. This
would allow for a timely submission of the Final Report, while groups can
still take time to finalize their minority statements. I will communicate
clearly to the GNSO Council when the final report is submitted that other
minority statements are still forthcoming. <br><br>
The deadline for submissions is 24th August but I strongly urge groups to
submit theirs when ready and not waiting till the last minute. That will
help for GNSO council consideration in a timely manner. I will also
note that Council would only be able to start considering at the earliest
in September instead of August. <br><br>

</dd><dd>Subject: Extension of time until August 24, 2020 for Minority
Statements <br><br>
</dd><dd> <br><br>
</dd><dd>Dear Rafik,<br><br>
</dd><dd> <br><br>
</dd><dd> On behalf of the GAC, ALAC, BC, and IPC, we are requesting
until August 24th to submit our Minority Statements. Regrettably,
the final stages of this process were quite rushed as stakeholder groups
were asked to review, digest, and confer over large amounts of material
that raised complex issues. Over the last week, we attempted to
identify and prioritize our concerns and resolve the scores of remaining
issues. Despite three lengthy meetings, there was not
sufficient time to discuss, much less resolve many crucial matters.
Notably, we barely discussed the important category of issues that
stakeholder groups would like to see changed. There was also
considerable confusion over the final resolution of certain issues.
<br><br>
</dd><dd> <br><br>
</dd><dd> As a result, we will need time to carefully review the now
final version of the EPDP Report to pinpoint and finalize what will
comprise the issues included in our minority statements. Like other
stakeholder groups, the GAC has formal procedures for conferring
with our members. This is an iterative process that requires time
for membership to review proposed text, ask questions, and consider
revisions until a final agreement is reached. This task is made more
difficult due to the complexity of the subject matter and intervening
religious and summer holidays. The Minority Statements are a
crucial part of the multistakeholder model and for many groups will be
the only opportunity to express and explain their concerns as part of the
Final Report. Accordingly, we will need until August 24th to
complete this important responsibility. We will try to submit our
Minority Statements earlier than that if possible. We appreciate
your understanding. <br><br>
