<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><font color="#0c64c0">First of all I appreciate the discussion on the word "generally". Truth is I drafted that language off-the cuff to be illustrative and not as definitive language
to use. But it sounds like the concept of stating that this new entity (whatever we call it) will follow those rules helps to clarify certain things. That's progress!</font></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><font color="#0c64c0"><br>
</font></div>
<div style=""><font color="#0c64c0" style=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Comparing the ePDP on the Temp Spec to this is like apples and oranges. It
</span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">doesn't</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> relate. The ePDP did not come out of the launch of a program derived from a process that was started by the GNSO and implemented by an IRT. The ePDP was a response to
proposed mechanisms created by ICANN staff to respond to an external legal situation. The GNSO Council then believed this mechanism involved a change to previous Consensus Policies and then launched the ePDP.</span></font></font></div>
<div style=""><font color="#0c64c0" style=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br>
</span></font></font></div>
<div style=""><font color="#0c64c0" style=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In this case, we have our PDP which will be followed by implementation of the policies derived from this Working Group and implemented by ICANN
staff with the help of an IRT. Then the new gTLD program will launch. Once it launches, if there is truly a proposed change that would implicate policy, then the GNSO can (and should) initiate the normal GNSO processes as the Council deems appropriate.
The Standing New gTLD Advisory Group (formerly "standing IRT") would not have a role. This would clearly be the case if ICANN wanted to change material portions of the legal agreement, or change a rule like allowing/not allowing closed generics, etc.</span></font></font></div>
<div style=""><font color="#0c64c0" style=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br>
</span></font></font></div>
<div style=""><font color="#0c64c0" style=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">But for the more minor changes, the ones that do not implicate policy or even implementation (but rather implicate execution), the GNSO processes
do not address these situations and they can be way to bureaucratic to handle. For example,take ICANN's decision to change Digital Archery to a Random Drawing, or it changes the mechanics of the Pre-delegation testing. There was NO policy or even implementation
process that was impacted and therefore arguably No role for the GNSO. But there were no processes to deal with those changes at all and ICANN therefore shot from the hip. It announced the changes, but did not solicit feedback from the impacted parties.
It was a disaster from a predictability standpoint. The Predictability Framework attempts to deal with this a create a predictable process where none exists.</span></font></font></div>
<div style=""><font color="#0c64c0" style=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br>
</span></font></font></div>
<div style=""><font color="#0c64c0" style=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I know you are arguing that the GNSO processes do
</span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">account</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> for these, but I and much of the community disagree with your view. We cannot invoke an ePDP or even GNSO input process for these types of issues. We cannot just tell
ICANN they cant do anything that deviates at all even if circumstances necessitate changes.
<b>But we do need to have a predictable framework to deal with these.</b></span></font></font></div>

<span style="color:#1F497D">It is helpful that you suggest that the newly named entity would abide by the same GNSO rules and procedures as an IRT. Not sure why your statement is conditioned upon the word “generally” or why you would call it anything other
than a “Post-Launch IRT”. The word “generally” leaves too much wiggle room when the WG solicited public comment on a “Standing IRT”. If you call it a “Post-Launch Standing IRT”, you eliminate ALL confusion and you don’t’ have to use the word “generally”
or go out for more public comment if you have Consensus. (You also don’t have to create a new ICANN acronym that no one understands unless they have been on this Working Group.)</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">

<span style="color:#1F497D">Regarding our disagreement as to the time frame for applicability of the GNSO Annexes, I don’t see any references to “pre-launch” and “post-launch” in the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF) or any references to new
issues that arise post-launch. The only reference in the CPIF is to “Policy Effective Date”. The new recommendation in the Initial Report would modify the CPIF because it would provide for a Standing IRT post-launch. <b>Please note the CPIF states the
IRT has to be briefed on the GNSO Input and GNSO Guidance processes and this same briefing should be required for any Post-Launch IRT in order to ensure GNSO oversight is in place post-launch. (Thus my conclusion that there is too much wiggle room in your
use of the word “generally”.)</b></span></p>

<span style="color:#1F497D">Obviously the GNSO Annexes for further Council work apply at any time, including post-launch. Otherwise, how could GNSO have possibly initiated and conducted an EPDP on the Temp Spec when that Annex came out of the same recommendations?
In this regard, please note that the three processes specifically refer to “new issues”. <b>Hopefully you are not suggesting that GNSO Council loses its oversight authority or ability to avail itself of these Input and Guidance processes after an application
window opens?</b></span></p>

There is a common understanding in the ICANN community about what an IRT does, how it is constituted, and what its powers are and are not. The documentation in GNSO procedures lays out the rules re IRT, including the composition of such a team which requires
broad representation across the community. These understandings are codified in the GNSO Council Operating Procedures and in the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework. If the proposed body is renamed, this would require additional public comment which
would include the need to specify how such a body would be constituted and what is powers would be.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#323130"></span></p>

of the confusion caused between the term we used in the Initial Report, and how that term is generally used to describe a team responsible for the implementation of GNSO policies, we have changed the name to the "Standing New gTLD Advisory Group" (SNAG).
Though we have changed the name, this new group should abide by the same rules and procedures generally applicable to Implementation Review Teams as set forth in existing GNSO Procedures".</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#323130"></span></p>

to characterize issues as either “policy” or “implementation” since one person’s policy is another’s implementation and vice versa. The mechanisms that were developed after the 2012 round to address these issues were specifically developed to apply WHENEVER
the issue arise and to keep control of the issues at GNSO Council in a very transparent manner. It would be a massive change of policy to offer a new construct that either (1) causes the results of that PDP to have to be amended or (2) creates a new body that
operates outside the established procedures already adopted by the Board and the GNSO.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#323130"></span></p>

Pro since Leadership initially took the position that the GNSO Input, Guidance, and EPDP processes do not apply after launch. This is categorically not true. The Policy and Implementation Working Group examined numerous examples of issues that arose “post-launch”
in the 2012 round. We ultimately concluded it is fruitless to try to characterize issues as either “policy” or “implementation” since one person’s policy is another’s implementation and vice versa. The mechanisms that were developed after the 2012 round
to address these issues were specifically developed to apply WHENEVER the issue arise and to keep control of the issues at GNSO Council in a very transparent manner. It would be a massive change of policy to offer a new construct that either (1) causes the
results of that PDP to have to be amended or (2) creates a new body that operates outside the established procedures already adopted by the Board and the GNSO.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"></span></p>
