Thank you for that feedback, Paul.

Susan and I am still waiting on further guidance from BC members before we can indicate their views.

Best regards, Philip

All,

The IPC would like to join the chorus of folks who are pointing out the unrealistic timeframe of this usually short comment period and a GNSO call on the subject which occurs before the comment period closes.  Since the IPC and its member organizations are composed primarily of volunteers, the volume of the latest proposal is significant, and the issues are complex, we doubt we will have our comment in before the end of the rushed comment period.  We also do not think that the GNSO Council will likely be in a position to opine on the proposal, other than perhaps to compile anecdotal data about how the community is reacting to the latest draft.

I personally believe that we should push ICANN for more time for a realistic comment period in line with the magnitude of this proposal.  For example, the New gTLD Program Implementation Review Draft Report was given 76 days and this seems at least  - or a whole lot more! - important than that.  The Council should also be given time to digest those comments prior to opining.  I don't think that ICANN is doing any favors by compressing these timeframes, especially during the holidays.

We will, of course, all work as hard and as fast as we can, but the idea of having anything close to final by our December Council call just isn't realistic.

Best,
Paul

Hi Paul,

As I understand it, the Council is expected to indicate by the close of the public comment period whether there any major concerns that could potentially affect the chances of approval of the Final Proposal or if there aren't any, whether it is likely that the Council would be able to support the proposal as it stands. The actual consideration of the Final Proposal for approval would not happen until January after the CCWG has confirmed the Final Proposal following review of the public comments and input received from the Chartering Organizations. I've copied in Thomas so he can correct me if I am wrong.

Best regards,

Marika

Hi Marika,

Just so that I am clear and can take back an accurate message to my stakeholders, the proposed schedule would have the GNSO Coucil give its up or down on the CCWG-Accountability proposal 3 days after the end of public comment, with that 3 day period ending on Christmas Eve.  Do I have this right?

Best,
Paul
