Thanks Marika.
The rationale behind the IPC response to Q 12.5 is that the GGP is likely to be 
used most often when the ICANN Board requests input in relation to an issue 
that arises during implementation, whether as a result of new facts learned, or 
as a result of new GAC or other advice.  For example, if ALAC asks the Board to 
halt launch of all gTLDs that require safeguards, the Board might want to 
initiate a GGP and if GNSO Council does not vote this down by a supermajority, 
the GGP would proceed.  Given that the Board is seeking an answer and seeking 
to reconcile differences of opinion in the community, the question should 
require the same Supermajority to terminate as a PDP.  Terminating via simple 
majority could be a method of stonewalling and getting the result one was not 
able to achieve when the vote was taken on the Board-initiated GGP.  (In other 
words, why would it only take a simple majority to terminate a GGP when it 
takes a supermajority to stop a GGP from being commenced if initiated by the 
ICANN Board?)

tool

Dear All,

Please find attached for your review the updated public comment review tool 
that should reflect today’s discussion. If you have any comments or edits 
please share those with the list.

Anne and Carlos, please note that there are a couple of specific items that the 
WG is looking for your input on (Anne, see comment Q12.5, Carlos see comments 
Q14.3 and G.1). Your feedback would be appreciated.

Note that everyone is encouraged to share any and all comments, questions or 
additional issues that require further conversation by the WG by Monday 4 May 
at 23:59 UTC at the latest. Based on the input provided, the Chairs will decide 
on Tuesday whether or not a WG meeting is needed next Wednesday as staff will 
require some additional time before a next draft of the report is produced 
(target date 13 May).

Best regards,

Marika
