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

[Thomas Rickert <rickert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,
IMHO we are currently trying to find ways to _implement_ a decision that has 
already been made by the board. The situation is completely different to the 
GNSO developing policy. 

As far as I can remember, we made this clear during our previous calls and in 
particular in the call with the GAC. The proposal that has been circulated only 
affects the first round and is subject to a review, if needed. 

As a consequence of the aforesaid and with the time pressure given, it can 
easily be explained why procedures are not adhered to as the GNSO usually 
would. 

The risk of failing to deliver on this matter is far higher than to be 
criticized for formal aspects.
