[council] GNSO: PDP management issues [note changed thread]

[Seo, June]

Hi Liz,

The public comment period for the PDP on policies for contractual
conditions on existing TLDs does not end until 28 March 2006 after which
"(the) Staff Manager, or some other designated representative of ICANN
shall review the public comments and incorporate them into a report (the
"Public Comment Report") to be included in either the Preliminary Task
Force Report or the Initial Report, as applicable" (ICANN Bylaws, Annex
A, Section 6).  Shouldn't the Council work on this PDP proceed after
that step is completed?

Thanks,
June Seo

Marilyn

Thanks for your note.

It is not my understanding that we are to devote any resources and time
at all to the Feb 06 PCC:  Existing TLDs PDP as part of the two day
working session in Wellington.  I have another email to the Council in
preparation about the PCC-eTLD PDP which I was going to distribute
tomorrow but I will send that out later tonight.

 From my side, it is entirely premature to be discussing the PCC-eTLD  
in Wellington.   Advice from the GNSO Secretariat today indicates  
that the public comment period will be between 7 March - 27 March.   
On current estimations, 10 April is the deadline for constituency  
statements.   I would encourage the Council to focus entirely on the  
new TLD PDP in the working sessions at the Wellington meetings.   
There is much good work to be done there and, in the background, I would
hope that the constituencies would be preparing their statements which
will then be folded into the PCC-eTLD Initial Report.

Kind regards.

Liz
