In order to allow the community additional time to provide feedback on the <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/Draft+Report+of+the+Independent+Examiner">Draft Report</a>, an <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-07-15-en"><span style='color:blue'>announcement</span></a> was posted last week that extends the <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-review-draft-2015-06-01-en"><span style='color:blue'>Public Comment</span></a> period through 23:59 UTC on 24 July. I urge you to encourage your groups to submit comments by Friday. Comments provided verbally during ICANN53 are being catalogued and will be posted and considered as part of public comment.<span style='color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>I wanted to remind the Working Party that Staff has set up several wiki pages to capture comments on the feasibility and usefulness of the 36 recommendations proposed by Westlake in their <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/Draft+Report+of+the+Independent+Examiner"><span style='color:blue'>Draft Report</span></a> (also see <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/Initial+Assessment+of+Recommendations"><span style='color:blue'>Initial Assessment of Recommendations</span></a>). The recommendations are organized by theme on the wiki to coincide with the structure of the Draft Report. Each recommendation has its own page (see <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/GR2/Recommendation+1"><span style='color:blue'>Recommendation 1</span></a> for example). Please add your comments in the “Working Party” section (you must be logged in to the wiki in order to do so) and include your name or initials to your comments. Staff acknowledges your busy schedule and extensive participation to date, however please note that it would be helpful to capture your comments on the recommendations before our call scheduled on 30 July @ 19:00 UTC (agenda to follow). If you would rather send an email with your comments to me, please specify which recommendation you are commenting on and I will post them to the wiki on your behalf. Chuck, thank you for taking the time to provide your comments on the wiki<span style='color:#1F497D'>.</span><span style='color:red'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">
