Re: [bc-gnso] RE-SEND: For discussion and review: proposed BC list of implementation improvements for new gTLD program

["Marilyn Cade " <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Steve. 

As Chair, I want to note that although numerous discussions took place on the 
BC lists, since some members raised concerns, and others expressed support, the 
ExComm , after discussion, supported a new and  focused opportunity of 14 days 
for members to discuss, debate, and identify support and non support for 
additions to the list of Improvements to the new gTLD program. 

But time is limited to be prepared for discussions w GAC and ICANN for Costa 
Rica. 
This discussion is a priority. 

The BC letter to the Board made it clear that the BC supports ICANN, did not 
ask for a delay, but noted the need for focused improvements, which can occur 
before names go live into the "Root". 

Improvements may include additional suggestions from members. If so, please add 
those to the list. For instance, a member recently asked me if the BC can weigh 
in again about mechanisms within the Guidebook that specifically affect a brand 
holder as a registry. 

 
I want to thank our Vice Chair of Policy Coordination,other members of the 
Excomm, members who expressed views of any kind,  and urge members to use the 
mechanism provided, via this process -- e.g. If you have changes, or comments, 
please use the format that this process provides. 

Those will be aggregated and analyzed, and summarized for BC members, following 
the timeline Steve has laid out.

BC members, 


We've discussed this list of implementation improvements for several weeks.   
And we want BC members to have a full 14 days to review and approve the final 
list before we deliver to ICANN Board and management ahead of the Costa Rica 
meeting. 


So please review the attached list, which includes two sections: 


Section 1:  Existing BC positions that are re-stated as implementation 
changes.   For these items, please indicate any comments or suggestions 
regarding continued BC advocacy. 


Section 2:  Recommendations that are not directly take from established BC 
positions. Please indicate whether you Support or Oppose these implementation 
changes.  You may also offer any relevant comments.  


If, by 16-Feb-2012, more than 10% of paid BC members indicate they do not 
support any of the Section 2 items, we will conduct voting on those items.  


That voting would be managed by the newly-elected BC officers --  after they 
take office on 17-Feb-2012. 


Thanks for reviewing these items.  I'm available if you have questions about 
substance or process.
