<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Thanks Tomslin. I wish it did. I guess the way to read it is that the Phase 2 policy work has to be done before the next round and that any implementation could
take place parallel to the next round. The PCR says this about when the policy work for Phase 2 will be wrapped up:<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">So, November 2025 would be the soonest that Org has the Phase 2 missing piece so at that point they could begin final preparations for the next round? That would
put the next round at November 2026, soonest. Since ICANN is no longer a government contractor, it has sprouted many, chaotic competitors in the so-called crypto domain name space. A 2026 launch date for the next round isn’t practical. Please let me know
if you are reading this differently. If you are not, we need to have Donna back in to answer the question directly and give us a different plan that won’t delay the next round for another 4 years (noting we are already 10 years behind the schedule found in
the last Applicant Guidebook). If you are reading it differently, we still need Donna to confirm one way or the other since if I can read it one way, and you can read it another (both of us being very reasonable people), then the text is unclear.
