Subject: [IOT] IOT - Material on timing issue



All,

Please find attached 3 documents which summarize the situation on the Time To File issue up to and including the results of the public consultation on this specific topic.

The first document is the announcement for the public consultation on the Time To File issue (the second IOT public consultation) and lays out the changes that were proposed following the initial consultation on the revised rules (held in late 2016). This summarizes the situation which led to the proposed changes as well as those proposed changes.

The second and third documents are spreadsheets that present the comments made on timing issues in the first and second public consultations.

The Announcement summarizes the results of the first public consultation.

The summary of the second public consultation is as follows:

  *   100% in favour of changing 45 to 120 days (but with many saying that it should be more than 120 days).
  *   Majority in favour of removing the 1-year repose. (6 in favour, 2 against)
  *   Many noted that the time from when the 120 days starts needs to be clarified vs other applicable mechanisms to a dispute (such Reconsideration etc )
  *   Several noted that the definition of “ought reasonably to have been aware,” was too vague (NTIA comment).

Following the second public consultation, the IOT did not return to this issue as it was focusing on producing the Interim Rules which were accepted by the ICANN Board but these did not include the proposed changes to the Time to File issue which was the core of the second public consultation.
