[gnso-igo-ingo] FW: Proposed Public Comment Period for Initial Report
Dear WG Members, We are planning to publish the Initial Report for public comment tomorrow, 14 June and wanted to provide you with the proposed public comment and reply periods. Taking into consideration that the PDP WG Charter mandates the WG to fulfill the requirements of the PDP "in an expedited manner," while also recognizing that under the minimum 21 day requirements for the public comment period and reply period each, the reply period would be open between 6 July and 26 July during which the Durban Meeting will take place, after consulting with Thomas as Chair, we are proposing the following timeframes: Extend the public comment period by 9 days to provide a 30 day period, starting 14 June and ending at 23:59 on Sunday, 14 July Maintain the 21 day period for the reply period, starting 15 July and ending at 23:59 on Sunday, 4 August. By extending the public comment period this would provide as much time as possible prior to the starting date of the Durban Meeting (instead of the 21 day period ending on 5 July), while also pushing back the reply period deadline by nine days to provide extra time after the Durban meeting. We realize that the timing of this public forum during the Durban Meeting is not the most optimal, but given the Charter mandate we hope you agree that this is a workable solution. As we would like to publish the report tomorrow please advise if there are any strong objections as soon as possible but no later than tomorrow, Friday 14 June at 12:00 UTC otherwise we will go with this schedule. Thank you very much for your continued support and contributions to the WG. Best Regards, Brian Brian Peck Policy Director ICANN Attachment:
