RE: [gnso-iocrc-dt] RE: Draft Public Comment For Review- Final Version

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are on the same page with regard to the bottom-up process Konstantinos. And 
I strongly believe that we should always do everything possible to follow the 
procedures that in place to support that process.  But the reality of our 
environment is that we will encounter situations where timing is critical.  I 
think that that is the case here and I thought we had pretty strong agreement 
for that in the DT.

The process problems started with the Board motion to protect the IOC/RCRC and 
it was exasperated by staff's unilateral implementation of the Board motion.  
That aside for now, I believe that all of us on the DT supported a comment 
period; that is why we pushed for it being initiated on Friday, after the call 
with the GAC.  I don't think any of us like the brevity of the comment period 
before the Council meeting but we also believe that we should do everything 
possible to make sure that new gTLD applicants can be informed about how 
IOC/RCRC names will be handled at the top level before the application period 
ends.  I realize that some will have already submitted their applications, but 
I am sure that allowances can be made in those cases.
