<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">Thanks Anne.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">The 2012 AGB provided for 2 application input opportunities, not including the GAC – “public comment” & “formal Objections.” That is it.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">Comment periods related to RVC and application changes are separate from these, but related in that they happen because of changes made to address concerns expressed during “public comment”
and “formal Objections.” This means that we are telling everyone that if you have an issue with an application you must submit it during either the “public comment period” or the “formal Objections,” providing predictability to applicants on when they might
need to react and respond with RVC or an application change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">By not restricting “letters of opposition” to the “public comment period” we are essentially introducing a new application input period not described in the AGB – one that has no timeline
and no rules around how it should work. I believe I heard Jeff say on that prior call that we are not trying to create this third new period for input, which I fully support not creating.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">ICANN staff arbitrarily created the “third input period,” simply because a “letter of opposition” was submitted months after formal Objections were completed in the 2012 round. It seems they
didn’t know what to do with that input and instead of saying “sorry, it’s too late to submit public comment that could impact CPE scoring,” they decided to allow it to be submitted, against the timelines and rules provided in the AGB. I believe we need to
correct that in subsequent rounds and Jeff suggested that the language in this report supports that. I don’t believe the language does, and worse, I think it is in conflict with his statement that “letters of opposition” should be considered “public comment”
and follow the rules of the “public comment period.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">I am all for supporting required comment periods around RVCs, but I am just suggesting that those periods where RVCs or application changes may occur should be predictable and centered around
the “public comment period” and “formal Objections.” There should not be unlimited times during the application process for outsiders to insert pressure on an applicant that is not described in the AGB.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you Jamie. I appreciate your concern. I don’t know personally what the deadline is for filing letters of opposition to a community application. I assume it is the public comment period?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I guess I would just repeat that as long as it is clear that any either public or private resolution of issues that results in the adoption of an RVC not contained in the original application absolutely requires
public comment, then I am okay with the appropriate language/implementation. My example is: I write to you after your application is published and say, “unless you adopt X RVC, I will file an Objection or letter of Opposition to your application.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">I would like to draw attention to Topic 28: Role of Application Comment (page 123, c.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">On a call about RVC/PICs within the past few weeks I raised the concern about the term “informal opposition” and I asked quite clearly if it was considered “public comment” since it was certainly
not “formal Objection.” The answer to that question was a resounding YES, specifically sighting that the group was not attempting to create a third type of input process/period beyond “public comment” and “formal Objections,” both of which have very specific
rules and timelines linked to them. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">When I raised further concern about the need to limit “public comment” (including informal opposition) to the AGB designated “public comment period”, Jeff assured me that language had been
adjusted elsewhere in the report to address it (presumably this section). None of the language in Topic 28 does however. Justine Chew also raised concern in the chat (possibly even Paul too), and I even requested to be pointed to that language since I had
not seen it yet, but I never received a follow-up.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">The reason for this distinction is that in the 2012 round, ICANN permitted “informal opposition” to be submitted days before CPE started for Community applicants. This was years after the
AGB advertised “public comment period” had ended, and months after “formal Objections” were completed. That “informal opposition” took direct aim at scoring in CPE (criteria #4).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">If “informal opposition” is officially considered “public comment,” and we are not creating a third layer of public input in addition to “public comment” and “formal Objections,” then why
does the report suggest there is not group agreement on changing the 2012 practice to prevent last minute “informal opposition” against Community applicants that target CPE scoring? These two agreements/non-agreements are in direct conflict with each other.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">Either we require all “informal opposition” to be submitted during the official “public comment period” published in the AGB (as Jeff affirmed on the call), or we are giving ICANN the ability
to toss out all applicant predictability and arbitrarily introduce new informal input periods not described in the AGB.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">In the bigger picture, and bringing it back to RVC/PICs, if ICANN allows last minute “informal opposition” it could create yet another delay for a Community applicant required to submit RVC/PICs
or change their application to protect CPE points, when it could have been handled during the official “public comment period” already described in the AGB. Without addressing this issue, I feel confident that last minute “informal opposition” will once again
be used as a gaming tactic in subsequent rounds to target and delay Community applicants during the homestretch.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Muli">Happy to answer any questions for those who are not as familiar with how this all unfolded in the 2012 round.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
