Dear Heather,



Thank you very much for reaching out and happy 2018!



Your request to extend the public comment forum has been duly noted, and we
are currently in the process to complete the formalities to have the public
comment period for the operating standards extended until Friday 2 February
2018 23:59 UTC.



An announcement will go out early next week on https://www.icann.org/news/
announcements to inform the wider community.



Many thanks and do not hesitate to reach out should you have any additional
questions/concerns.

Very best. Lars

Dear Lars,



On behalf of the GNSO Council, I respectfully request an extension of one
week to submit the GNSO Council's comments on the draft Operating Standards
for ICANN’s Specific Reviews.



The GNSO Council's January meeting will take place during a face-to-face
strategic planning session on Tuesday, 30 January. We are working towards
developing Council's comments in due time for the document deadline for
that meeting, with a view to putting them to a vote at the meeting. We
would then require an additional few days to handle any administrative
matters following on from the Council meeting to ensure that the version
submitted is final and agreed per Council procedures.



I hope that this request can be accommodated in view of the circumstances.



With best wishes,



Heather Forrest

GNSO Chair
