<p class="MsoNormal">All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last week the Avri and I received a formal request from the Governmental Advisory Committee to “consider an extension of the deadline for public comments to the Community Comment 2 (CC2) questionnaire.” In light of the extensive nature
of the questionnaire as well as the desire to get as many responses as possible, Avri and I are inclined to agree to this request. In order to be fair, we believe the extension should be applied to everyone, not just the GAC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Working backwards, it is our desire to have a summary of all of the public comments to discuss at ICANN59 at the end of June. The document deadline for that meeting is 15 business days prior to the meeting (beginning of June). In order
to give staff some time to compile the summary in time for the document deadline, we are proposing
<b>May 22, 2017</b> as the new date for comments to be due. This would be a 3 week extension for the entire community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know this is asking for quick turnaround, but please let us know by no later than
<b>April 20<sup>th</sup> </b>if you have any strong objections to this proposal. Otherwise, we will let the community know about the extension on April 21<sup>st</sup>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
