Team,

Please forgive my late night submission.

I should have stated “Consensus For” or “Consensus 
Against”……….NOT……….“Divergence For” or “Divergence Against”.

Thank you.  B

Subject: Draft Final Report - Update

WG Members,

Per our discussion today about recommendations assigned divergent levels of 
consensus and how they may mask overwhelming opposition, I wanted to first 
advise that I was able to confer with other ICANN staff to determine a path 
forward.  In short, it was considered a higher risk to modify the substance of 
the recommendations during the consensus call, but it was determined that a 
method of assigning “Divergence Against” or “Divergence For” can be utilized.  
The requirement for the WG is that this assignment must be consistent across 
all recommendations where divergence is assigned.  However, not all divergent 
recommendations clearly designate overwhelming opposition like the General 
Recommendation #4 we discussed today.

I feel it is important that I share and explain these potential modifications 
to the consensus levels with Thomas before delivering the report to the WG.  
Therefore, this email does not include the next version of the draft Final 
Report as promised in today’s conference call.  I did however make great 
progress with the updates to the draft Final Report.

As soon as I confer with Thomas (appx Thurs. 14 UTC), I will make any final 
changes as necessary and send the next version of the report to the list.  I 
will include a redline version (that will not contain the sections realigned 
agreed to avoid massive redline) and a clean version of the report (w/ all 
track changes accepted) for easier review.

Given the amount of changes, we will postpone the Public Comment Forum 
announcement until Friday.  Per our work plan, we can afford an additional day 
without missing the deadline for the BA GNSO Council meeting.

Please stay tuned.

Thank you.  B
