<DIV>The bulk of the time during the Feb 6-7 meeting will be devoted to
assessing the two proposals we have received. So for comments to be considered
during those assessments we need to have them before the meeting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don’t view this as a short nor absolute deadline. We put the RFP out in
September and it included the notice about community comments — both how to
submit them and that all interested parties should direct their comments to the
communities themselves first and foremost. So everyone has known for a very long
time how to send comments. Furthermore, we received both of these proposals two
or more weeks ago, so anyone who was for whatever reason waiting to send their
comments to us has had plenty of time to do that too. And we’re not saying that
we’re closing down the forum, just that if comments are to be incorporated into
the initial assessment phase, we need to see them before we do the assessments.
We have many further phases of assessment and comment planned in our
timeline.</DIV>

<DIV>Alissa, just to understand: what is the relatively short - and absolute
-deadline good for?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Today at the CWG meeting we have heard from their revised timeline which
will affect the assembly and finalization process.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In this context I wonder whether we shouldn't ask for responses by 04 Feb
but leave also an opportunity for further comments.</DIV>

<DIV>I took an action item on the call to draft a public announcement about

<DIV>The ICG’s Request for Proposals <<A

from the operational communities noted the following:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"While the ICG is requesting complete formal proposals through
processes convened by each of the operational communities, and that all
interested parties get involved as early as possible in the relevant
community processes, some parties may choose to provide comments directly to
the ICG about specific aspects of particular proposals, about the community
processes, or about the ICG’s own processes. Comments may be directly
submitted to the ICG any time via email to <A
href="mailto:icg-forum@icann.org">icg-forum@icann.org</A>.”</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ICG will next be discussing the protocol parameters and numbers
proposals on February 6. As such, the ICG requests that community comments
concerning those two proposals or the processes used to create them be
received by February 4 at 23:59 UTC. Comments received after that time will
not be considered as part of Step I of the ICG’s Proposal Assembly and
Finalization Process <<A

your feedback as soon as possible.</DIV>
