<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I think your recollection of the CPIF and what it actually states are not necessarily aligned the way I read it. Look at page 3 in following Document (<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-consensus-policy-implementation-framework-31may15-en.pdf">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-consensus-policy-implementation-framework-31may15-en.pdf</a>).
Under Section IV, in the chart and the text below, there IS a definitive End Date for the IRT in the “Analyze and Design” stage. In fact, in the chart it says in red “<span style="color:red">The IRT concludes work”.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">After that there is the actual implementation phase followed by the “<span style="color:red">Policy Effective Date GDD to Compliance Handoff”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The “Predictability Framework” we are proposing starts at the point in which that diagram states “IRT CONCLUDES WORK.” It is quite possible (as happened during the 2012 round) that additional issues will
arise after the original IRT concludes its work and even after the “Policy Effective Date”. It is for those issues (which could be operational) that we are talking about. In the last round, that would have included things like (1). Changing the contract
AFTER Guidebook Release, (2) Changing from Digital Archery to Priority Draw (again After the release of the Guidebook), (3) Changing of PDT Testing Requirements (yet again after the Guidebook was released), etc……<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I hope that looking at the chart and the explanations below the chart at
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-consensus-policy-implementation-framework-31may15-en.pdf">
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/gdd-consensus-policy-implementation-framework-31may15-en.pdf</a> makes it a little clearer. Perhaps we can add a chart to our report as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Thanks Jeff. Mostly agree with the tweaks but I honestly still do not understand the notion that “implementation phase ends when the program is launched”. That was not at all what was discussed
in the Policy and Implementation Working Group. In fact, there are provisions that call for reconvening of IRT. So the main question I am trying to address in order to avoid a conflict between the GNSO Input, Guidance, and Expedited PDP processes is: When
does this Predictability Framework kick in? In fact, the case studies done by P &I WG were virtually all post-launch of the 2012 program if “launch” is tied to receiving applications. The intent of GNSO Input, Guidance, and Expedited PDP framework was
that it exists well beyond launch. That is why I have always been confused by this discussion and the lack of correlation between the two remedies. So I call Predictability Framework a fourth mechanism because you call policy number 1, implementation number
2 and Predictability Framework number 3.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">The policy and implementation Working Group determined through its case studies that when issues arise during implementation (including after launch, e.g. name collisions and RPM issues), it
is fruitless to try to determine whether the issue involved is either policy or implementation, but that the remedy is to make sure that if enough people believe the issue involves some controversy, we need find a way to get it back to the GNSO. (This work
actually all resulted from your letter to the Board objecting to the implementation of the Strawman Solution without coming back to the GNSO for advice.) Staff commented they wanted direction and didn’t want to be in the middle of this controversy. In fact,
it was Marika who pointed out that nobody should waste time trying to determine whether the issue was a policy issue or an implementation issue. (You will recall Fadi said it was implementation.) This particular issue may have been pre-launch but many other
case studies we reviewed were not pre-launch. So to my mind, your examples in the chart are confusing because several of them would clearly be covered by GNSO Input, Guidance, or Expedited PDP procedures which can easily kick in post-launch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">But – to answer the question about “fourth”:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Policy<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Implementation (which we have seen can involve policy issues)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">CPIF – including GNSO Input, GNSO Guidance, and GNSO Expedited PDP procedures where issues arise (GNSO determines how serious the issue is)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Predictability Framework – but several of the items in the chart actually fit in an existing CPIF process. (this is why I say “fourth”) I don’t think calling
this “changes to operations” actually creates a different category from those that were considered by the Policy & Implementation Working Group. “Changes to operations” is just another word for “implementation” as nearly as I can tell. In other words, there
are already existing mechanisms to deal with many of the examples given in the chart – as enumerated in Item 3. If there are Items we want to back out of the CPIF existing mechanisms or if we truly believe there is a timing difference, that needs to be further
illuminated. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Yes – this was discussed on many calls and the Report should reflect those discussions. Thanks for your thoughtful responses. We have to be clear with the Community and we don’t want these
same questions coming up at the Board level. They need to be resolved here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The second is implementation (as covered by the CPIF). The Implementation Phase ends when the program is launched. Therefore, the third is this “Predictability Framework.” What am I missing? The Predictability Framework which envisions setting up a Standing
IRT can refer things back to Phase 1 or Phase 2 at their discretion, but I re-read the CPIF and it does not necessarily apply once there is a launch of a program and changes to operations may need to be made. That is why we are creating this Framework in
the first place as discussed on the numerous call. That said, I have no issue adding the work “considering” before the word “proposing” in that first paragraph.
