Dear Emily and Team members:<div><br></div><div>Congratulations on moving your draft report to the public comment phase. </div><div><br></div><div>I've been following the evolution of your recommendations and while Staff has some questions, comments, suggested corrections, and additional information for the Team's consideration, we thought it best, given your publication target (and Staff's workload), to provide these during the public comment period. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The information below is useful. You're probably way ahead of me on this, but just in case... I'd suggest you include in your posting note for the public comment forum information on the Team's Costa Rica plans and your expected schedule for producing the final report. Interested parties will want to know the steps and timing on finalizing the report.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As always, please let me know if you need anything further from Staff.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Denise</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Denise Michel<br>ICANN <br>Advisor to the President & CEO<br>

Hi Peter<br><br>Thanks for your comments. I think we all feel the same way!<br><br>Thanks also for posing those questions, which I've been thinking about in my head, but haven't communicated to anyone.<br><br>1. We're planning a long public comment on this one. Basically, it will be open until the Costa Rica meeting closes. Denise told me that there is a new form of public comment, where people can comment on the comments, and I think we have time to do both of those before Costa Rica. Anyway, it means that it's out there for comment until the next ICANN meeting.<br>
<br>2. Yes, I think we should meet in Costa Rica, and I expect that we should try to schedule our meeting day for the Thursday (or some time <i>after</i> we have done our outreach, public comment sessions). We're aiming to schedule a call with the Board this month to introduce them to our draft report and findings, and we may try to reach out to others (GNSO Council??) in the same way during this period of public comment.<br>
<br>3. We will need some time to take in comments and review our draft. I think six weeks after the Costa Rica meeting should do it, putting final publication on or before 30 April 2012 - that's my proposal, anyway.<br>
<br>Kind regards<br><br>Emily<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 4 December 2011 23:23, Nettlefold, Peter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Peter.Nettlefold@dbcde.gov.au" target="_blank">Peter.Nettlefold@dbcde.gov.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">Hi all<br><br>I attach a mark up showing my final edits to the Draft Report, which we will be publishing on Monday.<br>
<br>You can see my changes. They are mainly correction of typos, adding a couple of footnote references, and making sure that we are using terms consistently. I also split the report into three parts (Part I: Scope and definitions; Part II - WHOIS Policy and implementation and Part III - the extent to which WHOIS policy and its implementation are effective in meeting stakeholder needs). I found that this made it easier to see how the pieces of the jigsaw fit together.<br>
<br>There are a couple of more substantive changes:<br><br>1. Recommendations - As agreed on the list, I have unhighlighted (ie confirmed) the best practices recommendations re proxies, and inserted the introductory text proposed by Susan and amended by me.<br>
2. Recommendations - given the late controversy on whether the interface should be for all gTLDs or just thin ones, I have put in two alternatives for public comment, as proposed by Peter, and have added a sentence near the introductory text on proxies.<br>
3. Recommendations - Lutz's add on consumer outreach I have added into the paragraph below where it was - I am unaware of any opposition to this addition, or even when it was made, so shout if you have objections.<br>
4. Recommendations - A few days ago, given the discussion of the words "registrar-operated" in recommendation 10, I proposed their deletion. I heard no opposition, and have deleted them. <br>5.The order of the chapter on implementation (which I wrote) I found annoying, and not sufficiently clear because it has suffered from being moved back and forth from the main report to the more detailed letter in the appendix. I have therefore made a few changes there, which are marked up. These should be uncontentious - the aim is to explain what's going on rather than introduce substantive changes. <br>
<br>Please give any final final edits to me and Alice/ circulated to the list by the end of the weekend. <br><br>Alice -- you will see that I've managed to muck up some of the formatting (in particular I could not get the title for PART III to appear on the same page as the next chapter heading, so gave up). Please can you also update the table of contents. On Monday, if no more comments have been made, please accept all the marked up changes, and publish the draft report.<br>
<br>I will also forward an outline of our proposed cover note/ request for comment.<br><br>Kind regards<br><br>Emily<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><br><br> <span style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm"><img alt="Image removed by sender." height="100" width="100"></span><u></u><u></u></span></p>
