<p class="MsoNormal">Dear SubPro Team,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anne and Jeff raise good points here regarding the draft plan timeline being overly long. At our first meeting the points were raised about conducting work tracks in parallel to provide a more efficient process to cover the IRT workload;
this does not appear to be incorporated in the draft plan. Together with Jeff’s analysis of the topics and overlap, there could be a significant and valuable reduction to the proposed timeline. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do worry that the whole process since the delivery of the Final Report is prone to over-engineering and creates unwanted risks, such as losing valuable IRT members if the process extends to 2 years or beyond. A shorter, achievable timeline
will help retain members and create motivation within the IRT to achieve results. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">From ICANN’s perspective, a shorter timeline should also be favourable in terms of costs (with the knock on effect of creating earlier revenues).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope we can work on improving the draft plans and establish a more efficient path to present to the Board at ICANN77.<o:p></o:p></p>

in addition to that, I have participated in every one of ICANN's new gTLD rounds (starting in 2000), and have implemented not only hundreds of policies for registries, but I have also personally been involved in the launch of hundreds of TLD registries. From
2011-Jan 2015, I was responsible for the Neustar Registry business that included supporting hundreds of new gTLD applications both as front and back-ends, but also included the launch of most of those TLDs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
