[ODP-SSAD] Request for Extension of SSAD ODP GAC Survey

[Fabien Betremieux]

Dear SSAD ODP Team,

The GAC wishes to request an extension of the deadline for the SSAD ODP GAC Survey, to after ICANN72.

The GAC notes and welcomes the recent clarification from ICANN org that part of the questions should be considered optional. That said, providing input in regard to designations of accreditation authorities may still prove challenging in some countries given that they may require substantial consultations and coordination at the national level.

The extended response period would be used by GAC representatives to further communicate on the survey and ease coordination with competent national bodies. As you may be aware, this matter is also one of the topics the GAC is set to discuss during the upcoming ICANN72 meeting.

The GAC  would also like to take the opportunity of this request to kindly suggest that future surveys not be launched over summer holidays, or if this is the case, that the response period be longer.

Thank you for your consideration

On behalf of the GAC Chair,
The GAC Support Team.
