Thanks Chuck, that makes it a lot clearer for me and makes perfect sense.

We wouldn’t be putting the status report out for public comment, we would put the recommendations for the top level out for public comment; I believe the DT will finalize those after the call with interested GAC and Council members on Friday and prepare a recommendation for the Council approved by the DT.

> Thanks for the clarification, Stephane - I'd asked precisely because it occurred to me that having a formal public comment period for this report would not be possible for a number of reasons. That said, and assuming the Council will be asked to vote on one/some/all recommendation(s) in Costa Rica, I can foresee problems ahead if, for instance, the Council votes then to approve certain permanent protections for this and future gTLD rounds based on recommendations made by other than a formal GNSO Working Group.

If so, and assuming we agree that should this topic come up for a vote in Costa Rica our normal deferral process would be the worst thing we could do in terms of responsiveness to the GAC, then we need to find ways to get feedback on the actual recommendation(s) from all the community, in addition to input on the various options/issues they may have already given to the DT during the discussion process.

> Question - will this be put out for "official" public comment? I ask partly because of the possibility that the Council will be asked to vote on at least some part of the report in Costa Rica, and also because the recommendations pertain to protections that will also apply to future new gTLD rounds.
>  
> As many of you know, I definitely support a closer, better and more responsive working relationship with the GAC; however, even leaving aside issues with the process by which this particular issue came to the table and has now to be resolved, I remain concerned about ad-hoc work under the heading of "implementation" that isn't so much a natural follow-up to the GNSO's own policy recommendations (i.e. in this case the 2007 report on new gTLDs) but which could change or conflict with them. I know this issue was raised during this particular DT's discussions, as was the issue of precedent-setting, so I'm glad we're watchful for these risks. This might, however, buttress the argument that at the very least, a public comment be instituted prior to any vote/action.

> As promised, please find enclosed a status report from the Chair of the IOC/RC Drafting Team of the GNSO Council that has been tasked with advising the GNSO Council with respect to the September 2011 GAC proposal on permanently protecting the Olympic and Red Cross names at the top and second levels for new gTLDs.  Although this report was shared with the members of the Drafting Team, it was drafted by me as the Chair, and as such is not an official report from the Drafting Team.  It represents the Chair’s current understanding of the discussions of the Drafting Team.  Each of the recommendations addressed in this report are still under review by the GNSO Community.  We are providing this report to assist in the discussions between the Drafting Team, interested GNSO Councilors and GAC members on March 2, 2012.
