<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>Dear
All ..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>I
have paused our FAQ discussions based on what Alissa suggested, in her email
dated 27 October, 2014: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>"I
think beyond the FAQ text (and probably before we add the new text to the FAQ
web site), the main thing we need to agree on as the ICG is the full list of
what our plans, requirements, and expectations are vis a vis the proposal
submission process." <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>Yet,
before we lose track, I'm attaching (also on Dropbox) a version, dated 24Nov14,
which I hope accurately reflects all previous discussions .. I suggest that, as
we have agreed that the FAQ is going to be a living document, that we do not delay
its posting pending finalization of discussions on all questions .. As a living
document, it's hard to have a complete perfect version all the time ..
Additionally, the FAQ has to provide timely information and some questions are
more urgent than others .. So my suggestion is that, as we continue discussion
on the Board role, if the current answer is still unsatisfactory to some, we
can proceed with other updates such as Q#19 on whether the target deadline has
been delayed, and Q#22 on the relationship between the ICG work and the ICANN
accountability process ..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>If
acceptable, I would hence suggest that ICG members skim through the track
changes and identify any questions were there are still concerns or uncompleted
discussions .. We can then halt updates concerning those specific questions and
proceed with the rest .. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>I
think we should also have some way to highlight new or modified questions as
well as the date of last update, on the online version ..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>How
does this sound?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>Looking
forward to receiving your views and any other suggestions for better ways forward
..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>Kind
