Supplementary Procedures for the IRP[icann.org]</a>, we are contacting you to formally request a 2-week extension to the public comment period. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The period is scheduled to end 25-Jan, and we are requesting an extension to 8-Feb, at the earliest.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The justification to grant this extension is that we only just received a legal analysis and recommendations for the proposed procedures. Sidley Austin, attorneys to the CCWG, prepared a legal memo (attached) that was shared with the
BC membership only last week (12-Jan). We’d like to incorporate some of Sidley’s analysis, and need additional time to have BC members review the changes. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do not see any great urgency to the adoption of IRP procedures, so I hope this request can be granted. <o:p></o:p></p>
