<br>
Unfortunately I cannot make tonight's meeting due to some calendar confusion. Alissa has offered to shepherd the discussion on proposal submission expectations, and I thank her.<br>
<span><br>
With respect to the minutes, I have read and support approving all three sets.<br>
<br>
</span>I also suggested a few edits to the Proposal Submission Expectations document, and expanded the final section based on a comment from Alissa (that last change is included here for ease). The document was also updated in dropbox.<br>
<span><br>
6 c. The ICG expects ICANN to transmit the proposal unmodified to NTIA and to publish that transmission on its public web site.<br>
<br>
Should ICANN or the ICANN Board have concerns over their ability to support (and hence transmit) the proposal, it is imperative that this be indicated in a timely enough manner in order to allow resolution of any open items within the established timeline.<br>
<br>
</span><span><NEW> To that end, the ICG is requesting that ICANN or the ICANN Board formally indicate any questions or issues that might prevent their full support of the final proposal at the following points:<br>
- First Draft Proposal (in mid-April to allow time to address any questions or concerns)<br>
- Development of the Final Proposal (during the week of the 21-25 June at the ICANN meeting)<br>
<br>
</span>Hope you have a good meeting and again apologies for not being able to make it.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Lynn<br>
