[CCWG-ACCT] about the CCWG 30-day comment period

[Adam Peake]

Note on behalf of Thomas, Leon and Mathieu about the CCWG proposal 30-day
public comment period.

Hi everyone,

We have seen comments about the 30-day public comment period.  You will
remember this has been our intention since we discussed planning in
Istanbul, and we concluded this discussion on the CCWG call of 30 April.
The outcome was to propose the first public comment should be for 30 days,
which would allow time for us to prepare a response for the ICANN meeting
in  Buenos Aires.  It is particularly important that we are able to
respond to the dependencies identified by the CWG-Stewardship.

Recognizing that the shorter public comment is not ideal for a subject of
such importance to the community, we also took into account the fact that
we will to hold a second public comment period some weeks after ICANN53
when we will seek input on any outstanding issues and provide details and
explanation prompted by discussions with the community from the first
public comment and during ICANN53.

The public comment announcement includes the remark "Because this (first)
Public Comment period is less than the required 40-day minimum, it has
been approved by two ICANN Global Leaders."  The term Global Leaders is a
reference to senior members of the ICANN staff and the condition was
created to ensure that a check existed so that a single ICANN department
would not depart from the standard default time period without broader
senior staff input.  The public comment guidelines and procedures are
available on the public wiki

Warm regards,
