[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Initial draft for review: Public Comment Review Tool

[Mary Wong]

Dear Working Group members,

Please find attached an initial draft of the tabular Public Comment Review Tool that was mentioned on our last call. This is basically a tabular summary prepared by staff of all the public comments received on our Initial Report, organized according to Recommendation number corresponding to the specific recommendation in the Report (with additional sections for General and Other Comments). As the document is rather long, we attach the PDF format here but please let me know if you’d prefer to receive the Word version – staff will also post them to the Working Group wiki space.

Some numbers that may be of interest:

·         We received a total of 46 comments (including several from one individual commentator (Mr Richard Hill, who participated in the Working Group’s open session at ICANN58), a few individual Working Group members, one ICANN Advisory Committee (GAC) and four GNSO Stakeholder Groups/Constituencies (the Registries and Registrars Stakeholder Groups, the Business Constituency and the Intellectual Property Constituency).


·         Well over a dozen IGOs submitted comments, and a substantial number also signed on to the comments submitted by WIPO (10) and the OECD (15).

Please also note the following caveats regarding the attached table:


·         This table was prepared to assist with your review of the comments received but does not replace or supersede the actual reading of the complete comments.


·         Where we judged it to be helpful, we have excerpted specific text from a comment in the table for clarity or context, and also provided a link to the specific comment so that you can read it in full.


·         In some excerpts, we have shortened or summarized certain language in the comment – this is indicated by square brackets around the relevant word or phrase.


·         As we are dealing with a relatively new format (typically, staff prepares a similar table for all PDP Working Groups), some of the formatting came out strangely. We will try to fix these problems, but in the interests of time we thought it best to get this rough version out to you as soon as we could.

Finally, as noted on the Working Group call last week, for this Thursday we will plan on meeting for 90 minutes, and, following a brief opportunity to close out on the GAC’s comments (continued from last week), we will proceed to discuss the comments that were received from the OECD, WIPO and the US Government.

You can find these comments here:

·         WIPO - https://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-igo-ingo-crp-access-initial-20jan17/pdfcg05Cm2gRd.pdf

·         OECD - https://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-igo-ingo-crp-access-initial-20jan17/pdfQMY4Efq7Aa.pdf

·         US Government - https://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-igo-ingo-crp-access-initial-20jan17/docxqGG2WibVF8.docx

Thanks and cheers
Mary
