> Dear all,
>  
> First, let me wish you and your families a happy, healthy, and prosperous
> 2017!
>  
> Seeing that there were no further comments on the list ­ not by the deadline
> nor by today ­ we will start the posting process of the RFP. We will inform
> you once it has gone online and we would also encourage you to disseminate the
> announcement (once published) as widely as possible.
>  
> The next step for you, as far as the Assessment is concerned, will be to
> provide feedback on the applications received. We will keep you informed on
> the timing of that next step once we have cleared all procedural hurdles to
> post the RFP.
>  
> Many thanks and best wishes,
> Lars

> 
>  
> Dear IOO-DT,
>  
> Thank you very much for your feedback on the RFP. I have incorporated almost
> all of your edits and suggestions into the new iteration of the document. I
> also left some of your comments in the document, adding answer to them.
>  
> You find attached a redline copy (track changes to the first copy I sent last
> week) and a clean copy (both in MS Word and PDF form).
>  
> Before you read through the update, there are four points we would like to
> make in explanation to the updated RFP:
>  
> ·         Some of you noted that 1.5 months might not be enough time for the
> review. While we do not disagree with that assessment per se, please bear in
> mind the following: a 6-7 week turnaround time for a professional organization
> might be a sufficient amount of time; the proposed timeline dovetails with the
> WS2 work; if an extension is needed that can be discussed and decided at that
> time. Therefore, we would like to keep the timeline as is.
> 
> ·         There was an addition for applicants to provide client lists of
> previous review. While we understand that that might be very helpful it is
> something that very few (if any) professional consulting companies are willing
> to share and would thus limit the applicant pool considerably. The ICANN
> procurement due diligence process involves various steps to validate and probe
> experience, including interviewing the bidders and a reference check for final
> candidates. (see Section 3.0 / No.5)
> 
> ·         One of you added an addition step of evaluation by the IOO-DT of
> applications. The IOO-DT will of course be able to provide feedback on the
> evaluation. However, this will be part of the initial and final evaluation
> steps that are already in the table on p. 10. I have modified the table to
> assure this will the case.
> 
> ·         Some comments indicated mandating a travel to ICANN58 in the RFP. We
> would discourage this. The timeline is, as mentioned above, not set in stone,
> maybe the start date will be delayed because of a lack or a glut of applicants
> ­ so Copenhagen would be an impossibility. Of course, we have a budget to send
> the assessor(s) to Copenhagen and are ready to do so. Consequently, we added
> under a relevant note to the ŒBusiness Requirements¹.
> 
>  
> We will publish this RFP in the first week of January- if you have any
> additional feedback, please submit them no later than 27 December 23:59 UTC.
> If need be, I suggest we hold an impromptu conference call on 2 January.
>  
> Many thanks, best wishes, and happy holidays!
