It really puts things in perspective. Thanks for putting that together.</div><div><br></div><div>One of the revisions you have made to the timeline document says, “Comments from IANA and NTIA are strongly desired.” My role as a committee member representing the IANA functions operator will provide the opportunity to share thoughts from the IANA functions operator on the strawman proposal as the committee compiles it. Do you think it is necessary to call out a request for comments from the IANA functions operator given the committee has a representative from the functions on it?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div><div>-- Elise </div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Paul Wilson <<a href="mailto:pwilson@apnic.net">pwilson@apnic.net</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Sunday, July 20, 2014 at 8:08 PM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Russ Housley <<a href="mailto:housley@vigilsec.com">housley@vigilsec.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc: </span> Coordination Group <<a href="mailto:internal-cg@icann.org">internal-cg@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [Internal-cg] Timeline<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote id="MAC_OUTLOOK_ATTRIBUTION_BLOCKQUOTE" style="BORDER-LEFT: #b5c4df 5 solid; PADDING:0 0 0 5; MARGIN:0 0 0 5;"><div><div><div>Thanks Russ.</div><div><br></div><div>As the comments show, we’re in a hard place with the schedule, and I think the only solution is a lot flexibility, and parallelising work as much as possible.</div><div><br></div><div>Clearly all participants will have a hard time with the schedules, but all need to make a very best effort to move the work along, and I would prefer to challenge everyone at this early stage, while being flexible about target deadlines as they come up (and, about late submissions).
