Anne,

The risk evaluation methodology used in 2012 was already approved then. There are no tweaks necessary, it could be used verbatim. If Board wishes to wait for NCAP that's their choice to make, but nothing in the SubPro report requires so. Much care was taken in that report to allow for either the 2012 methodology or a new one to fit recommendations, in order to avoid a GNSO consultation for not following approved policy if a new NCF is adopted.

The only actions actually depending on NCAP output are the ones regarding .corp, .home and .mail. Next round will live with or without such, and any attempts to make it hostage for those with agendas regarding CHM already failed at the SubPro final report.

Since your questions on Workflow and Passive Collision Assessment were directed to Jeff S, let me just say that most of the times I wait for him to comment so I don't need to. ;-)

If you want the Board to lockup and defer going forward on the next round, your approach makes sense.  If you want the next round to move forward, there needs to be consistency between the answers to the  questions the Board put to the SSAC and the “MUST” part of the Sub Pro Recommendations.
