review team is free to suggest which of their

each of its recommendation (i.e., whether they think it is necessary to implement the
recommendation before proceeding with the next round of new gTLDs or in tandem). This will provide clarity on what set of recommendations must be implemented before the next rounds and what set of recommendations has more flexibility in terms of implementation timeline. <br><br>The suggestion to WP1 and CCWG is that any requirement to implement CCT review recommendations before the next round of new gTLDs distinguish between the two categories of recommendations in terms of implementation timeline. <br></div><div><br></div><div> Best regards,<br><br></div><div>Rinalia<br></div><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 12:30 AM, Rinalia Abdul Rahim <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rinalia.abdulrahim@gmail.com" target="_blank">rinalia.abdulrahim@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">
