Thanks Roger for the insightful and meaningful comment.
Much appreciated.

Please note that I’ve started another email using Rec 28 to continue the “scheduling issue” discussion.
Let’s use this email trail for Rec 27 workplan discussion.

Good Morning,

Thanks Dennis and Karen, I think this is a good work plan for Rec 27, there is a lot of work to be done and hopefully the work plan schedule holds true.

On another scheduling issue: as I see “unlikely” mentioned below I am very concerned that my comment in Rec 28 is not being clearly understood. We are just a bit more than 5 months from Rec 28s suggested effective date of February 29th, 2020: excluding all the work Rec 27 will entail, we still have not reviewed/resolved all of the comments/questions on the proposed language of the other recommendations, we do not have a consolidated rough draft of the policy language (which I am sure will raise additional questions/comments), a public comment period of the draft language still needs to occur and from all indications there will need to be at least a six month period for implementations to align with the new policy.  As I stated in Rec 28, there is no way that this policy will become effective February 29th, 2020.

In regards to the “unlikely” comments from the transcript and email below, I find it disheartening and not transparent at all, that this is not being communicated appropriately. I believe that we need to be clear that February 29th, 2020 is not going to happen (not that it is unlikely to happen) and that if someone is looking for a more realistic timeline then just walk back the dates (excluding Rec 27 work: at minimum 6 month implementation period, publish final policy language, public comment review/response, public comment, publish initial policy draft language, resolve initial draft questions/comments/inconsistencies, create initial draft, resolve open comments/questions on the policy language for each of the recommendations). If the Initial Policy language is published for public comment by/near ICANN-66, I believe being optimistic this works out to an effective date of July 2020 at the earliest.

I don’t want to dwell on process or dates but I just want to be transparent with what we do know when we know it.

Thanks
Roger

Dear IRT,

Attached are the slides used to present to the GNSO Council last week.
It should provide an easy to follow overview of the detailed workplan that was provided prior to the meeting.

GNSO Council seemed satisfied with the way we plan to move forward and didn’t have many follow up questions.

One important point IRT should note was on the schedule.

The Council correctly noted that ICANN org was producing a schedule that attempts to meet the 29 Feb 2020 policy effective date that the Recommendation 28 specified.
Excerpt from transcript: “There’s clearly a tremendous amount of work to be done on this project. That date of the 29th of February 2020 is, I think, frankly unlikely to be met. But we’re trying. I think ICANN org and we as council need to be focusing on this to try to at least map out the plan for addressing these issues, understanding where we might need to initiate a new PDP, where there are other things we could do that perhaps are not a full-blown PDP to address these impacts and where there are inconsistencies or incompatibilities with old policy versus the new policy.”

As the IRT has commented on Rec 28, the Council also acknowledges the tremendous amount of work and that the Feb 2020 date is unlikely to be met. We’ll continue our the date discussion using the Rec 28.

FYI. ICANN org is undergoing a labor intensive research, examination, and analysis of the RegDataPolicy impacted policies and procedures. It’s important that all members of the IRT complete their review on this work plan.

I am calling on the IRT to complete any comments you might have on Rec 27 on the workplan to handle the impacted policies and procedures.

You will find the workplan and the attached slides in a new folder created for Rec 27 link in this new assignment as:
