[gnso-iocrc-dt] Apologies for Wednesday Meeting

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

A meeting I am unable to get out of has just come up that makes it impossible 
for me to attend the call.  It would still be good for you all to discuss the 
e-mail sent around earlier to make sure that I have worded the proposal 
accurately and to refine if necessary, so that we can get final feedback on the 
consensus call by September 26th.

I am going to ask Chuck or Thomas if they can lead the call....sorry to put you 
two on the spot.  If you want, you can discuss the Board resolution as well.  I 
believe that our current proposal may be in line with the resolution, but there 
may be some issues  I believe that need to be addressed.

The resolution states:

Resolved (NG2012.09.13.01), if it is not possible to conclude the policy work 
prior to 31 January 2013, the Board requests that the GNSO Council advise the 
Board by no later than that date if it is aware of any reason, such as concerns 
with the global public interest or the security or stability of the DNS, that 
the Board should take into account in making its decision about whether to 
include second level protections for the IOC and Red Cross/Red Crescent names 
listed in section 2.2.1.2.3 of the Applicant Guidebook by inclusion on a 
Reserved Names List applicable in all new gTLD registries approved in the first 
round of the New gTLD Program

What does it mean to "conclude the policy work"?  If the GNSO recommends the 
"moratorium on registrations", but initiates the pdp (which will not likely be 
done by 1/31/13), would the Board attempt to override the ongoing pdp.  Or 
would the moratorium on registrations satisfy this requirement.  I would like 
to see if the Board's new gTLD Program Committee could give us some more 
details about this.  Please let me know if you share my concerns.

Thanks in advance and I apologize for not being able to attend, but I wil 
listen to the recording.
