[gnso-iocrc-dt] Explanation of the Dates in the Public Comment Forum

[Margie Milam <Margie.Milam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,
 
I wanted to provide some clarification with regard to the new public comment 
policy as it affects the IOC/RC DT’s posting.

In order to get the comment period opened on Friday, the dates were changed to 
match the new policy—see:  http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment.

This Board mandated public comment policy was adopted as part of the adoption 
of the ATRT recommendations, and has been in effect since the beginning of the 
year.  It applies to all public comments, regardless of whether the comment 
originates in a PDP or from other types of work.

The policy states that:

Each public comment topic (opened from 1 January 2012) is subject to a Comment 
and a Reply period as follows:
•       The official minimum Comment period is 21 days.
•       The official minimum Reply period is 21 days.
•       If no substantive comments are received during the Comment period, then 
there will be no        Reply period.
•       During the Reply period, participants should address previous comments 
submitted; new posts     concerning the topic should not be introduced. When 
constructing Replies, contributors are      asked to cite the original poster's 
name, comment date, and any particular text that is         pertinent.

This was clearly explained on Friday’s call.  I thought it best to get it 
posted ASAP, since I do not have the ability to override the Boards’ policy, 
rather than miss the opportunity to post on Friday.    

Best Regards,

Margie

All,

 I just wanted everyone to know that despite the conversation on the list and 
the fact that i edited the comment period description to end the day before the 
Council meeting, ICANN staff decided to have the public comment period end 
March 23, and this new "reply period" to end on April 14th (2 days after the 
application window closes).  I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention 
because I fully expect Icann staff to defend their letter of the status quo for 
round 1 based solely on the fact that the public comment period ends after the 
window closes.  I am extremely disappointed In yet another attempt to 
circumvent our process and the work we are doing and would like to add this to 
the list of questions for Icann staff.  I also expect criticism from the 
community if we ask the gnso to act before the public comment period ends.  I 
have already have 2 reporters point this out to me and ask if that meant that 
the notion of changes were "killed".  (I did not respond).

I would like to ask for those dates to be revised so as to not create confusion 
or the perception that neither the gnso council or the stafford can act before 
the comment period is up.

Dear All,

 

I accepted Jeff’s revisions and caught a few typos.   The proposal is 
untouched, except to add a footnote with the date.   

 

Since there don’t appear to be any more comments,  this will be forwarded for 
posting.

 

Best regards,

 

Margie
