Do note that the public comment period we are working with is now a minimum of 40 days (the change having been made in January 2015 following extensive review of ATRT1 & ATRT2 recommendations as well as community feedback); it may be noteworthy to compare that with the GNSO PDP Manual, which still foresees the public comment period following the publication of an Initial Report as a minimum of 30 days.</div><div><br></div><div>In the case of our WG, the first draft Initial Report was first circulated in December 2014, with a few revisions made to the Executive Summary and recirculated in January 2015. It was the January 2015 draft that was updated last week following further WG discussion on what had been identified as open questions. In addition, the WG Work Plan was modified several times in the last few months to postpone the publication date of the Initial Report (although none changed the objective of having the public comment period completed before Buenos Aires). The latest update to the Work Plan was published after discussion with the WG two weeks ago. Additionally, as I’d noted when circulating the report on Thursday, the major changes from the January 2015 draft version are concentrated in the Executive Summary and the accompanying explanatory text in Section 7.</div><div><br></div><div>It is of course for the WG, guided by the Chairs, to decide whether particular recommended periods, milestones and timelines in its Work Plan remain adequate and workable.

Hi All,<br>
Do I understand correctly that we are putting out a 100+ page report on a complex subject for review by the ICANN Community - and world community - *before Buenos Aires*?? That seems awfully tight if we want substantive comments - and the outreach to participate
-- that a WG presentation/discussion in Buenos Aires would encourage (and the web presence it would create). We (in the WG) have talked about these issues a lot - but have others outside our WG followed these them with so many other things in motion?
<br><br>
In the Whois Review Team we heard a lot of complaints from individuals, organizations, data protection and law enforcement offices that ICANN's proceeding are difficult to follow and even more difficult to participate in -- in large part because the rapid comment
timeframes are not conducive to global outreach or the timelines needed to encourage substantive and thoughtful comments (especially by government entities). We issued a recommendation that on Whois issues, in particular, we have to do more...
<br><br><b>WHOIS Review Team Final Report</b><b><br></b><i>Recommendation 3 - Outreach</i><i><br></i>ICANN should ensure that WHOIS policy issues are accompanied by cross-community outreach, including outreach to the communities outside of ICANN with a specific interest in the issues, and an ongoing program for consumer awareness.<br><br>
I think we should allow two months to respond -- at a minimum. <br>
Best,<br>
