But first, staff should clarify that it was not expected that the Sub Team members would have read through and analyzed all of the materials from Analysis Group by today’s meeting. Given that the deadline for Analysis Group to provide the draft surveys was to be 05 June, that timeline in any case would not have provided enough time for the Sub Team members to review all of the materials. Instead, it was the staff’s understanding that the purpose of the calls today and tomorrow was to review the draft surveys and address the comments and questions from Analysis Group during the call.<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;color:black'>Second, it is the timeline, which is part of the RFP, that is driving this work. According to the timeline the Sub Team must provide its feedback to Analysis Group by this Friday, in order for Analysis Group to provide the final surveys to the WG by next Wednesday, 13 June, and then for Analysis Group to be able to start sending the surveys by 20 June. If we slip even by a few days we will not be able to meet the deadline of getting the surveys out by the end of the month. If we don't get the surveys out by the end of the month (which is predicated on AG getting the feedback this week), we won't get the results back by August and a report by September at the latest to review - which pushes out the development of initial recommendations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>We do realize the challenges in this process and staff will do everything possible to help the review of the draft surveys go as smoothly as possible. However, given that today’s call is already scheduled with many Sub Team members expecting to attend, staff would suggest that the Sub Team can use the call as noted above to review the draft surveys and work with Analysis Group to address the questions. The work can continue on tomorrow’s call if needed. Following both calls staff will send the comments to the Sub Team to review before they are sent to Analysis Group on Friday.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>Mary, Ariel, Berry, and Julie</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>From: </span></b><span style='color:black'>Gnso-rpm-data <gnso-rpm-data-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of "Dorrain, Kristine via Gnso-rpm-data" <gnso-rpm-data@icann.org><br><b>Reply-To: </b>"Dorrain, Kristine" <dorraink@amazon.com><br><b>Date: </b>Wednesday, June 6, 2018 at 11:05 AM<br><b>To: </b>Lori Schulman <lschulman@inta.org>, Susan Payne <susan.payne@valideus.com>, Ariel Liang <ariel.liang@icann.org>, "gnso-rpm-data@icann.org" <gnso-rpm-data@icann.org><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Gnso-rpm-data] Please postpone today's call<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Hi everyone,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I also support postponing the call.

I am not seeking to cast blame on anyone, but I am extremely concerned that this exercise is being pushed forward with such haste. It is completely unreasonable and unrealistic to expect us all to have read all these documents, considered the extensive redlines and comments, and be in a position to discuss this meaningfully in the space of 4 hours from them landing in our Inboxes. Half of our subgroup are on the US West Coast – they are only just waking up so they don’t even get that long! I may have the advantage of this being the middle of my working day, but I still have multiple other calls on my time this afternoon. The meeting later this afternoon was set when we were due to receive these documents on Tuesday. Frankly, even that was a ludicrously short turn-around time, but that’s academic, since we didn’t receive the documents on Tuesday (and just to be clear, I’m not blaming AG for missing the deadline – they also have been given a wholly unrealistic timeline).</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I know that there is pressure to move this survey exercise along. I’ve been vocal myself about concerns on the WG timeline, but those concerns have been as much about the need to be realistic about what tasks should be undertaken and how long they will take. The RFP exercise to appoint AG has taken months (which is no surprise to me). It’s unfair and false economy to try to make up the time by truncating the preparatory work on the actual surveys. It’s wholly unreasonable to allow only 2-3 weeks for AG to review the initial input from the Subteam, create surveys, discuss and finalise with the Subteam, identify survey respondents, report to the full WG, and get these surveys deployed. We seem to be working towards a completely arbitrary date for reporting to the full WG – what is the reason for this 13 June deadline? We aren’t discussing on a WG call before, or during Panama, so what’s the justification for this? </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Whilst I have strongly questioned the value of this whole exercise from the outset, I, and the others on this subgroup, have also made a commitment to do what we can to try to ensure that some useful information will be generated.
