Thanks, John, for the additional work done on this. I think it is in line with our discussion.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My suggestion (that you can take on board or not): </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I understand the ordering of the three points, we state as the first point, “don’t delay the next round due to this issue,” because:</div>
<div class="">
<ol class="MailOutline">
<li class="">It was first in the previous draft</li><li class="">It is the most important point: THE CLOSED GENERICS ISSUE SHOULD IN NO WAY DELAY THE NEXT TLD ROUND</li></ol>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">However, I think it flows better (from a logic standpoint) to reverse the first and second points, i.e.:</div>
<div class="">
<ol class="MailOutline">
<li class="">The facilitated discussion failed to deliver a framework, therefore the issue is passed to the Board for resolution in accordance with the SubPro Final Report and the Board/Staff charge to the facilitated discussion group. </li><li class="">Therefore, the issue is passed back to the Board with no additional guidance except that, "It is not necessary to resolve the question of closed generic gTLDs as a dependency for the next round of new gTLDs. As such, we request that the Board
remove it as a dependency and allow the next round to proceed.”</li></ol>

</div>
</div>
<div class="">This order delivers the headline first, i.e., the result of the facilitated discussion, and then puts guardrails regarding next steps. It is a small point but it makes more sense to me that way. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As I said, take it or leave it. The current proposal you have developed is good work. </div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">Thanks John. My only recommendation based on our discussion in Council is that in item 3, we should add a reference to the good work done by the Subsequent Procedures Working Group. Specifically, i would add at the end of Item 3 "...as
well as by the Subsequent Procedures Working Group as summarized in Topic 23 of the Final Report available here: <a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-report-newgtld-subsequent-procedures-pdp-02feb21-en.pdf" class="">https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-report-newgtld-subsequent-procedures-pdp-02feb21-en.pdf</a>
