[gnso-review-dt] Public Comments & Next Meeting

[Jen Wolfe <jwolfe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello GNSO Review Working Team:

Thank you again for your continued time and commitment to this process.  As you 
may have seen from our email thread, there have been some concerns expressed 
about the 24 July (today) deadline to provide public comments.  I am reaching 
out to let you know that the schedule can accommodate extending the deadline 
for one additional week to 31 July so that any groups or individual who wish to 
comment  have one more week to respond.  I appreciate those groups who have 
completed their public comments and encourage everyone to have your respective 
groups provide comments by next week's deadline, which will be the final 
deadline in order for the finalized report to be issued on 31 August.

I have summarized the comments received to date below:

Comments to date:

*             Brand Registry Group has submitted a 
comment<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-gnso-review-01jun15/msg00000.html>
 on 16 July

*             Registry Stakeholder Group has submitted a 
comment<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-gnso-review-01jun15/msg00001.html>
 on 23 July

*             In progress are comments from ISPCP and ALAC - all expected to be 
submitted by the current due date of 24 July.  There may be others, but staff 
is not currently aware of this.

*             64 comments provided verbally during ICANN53 sessions - see 
posted<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-gnso-review-01jun15/msg00002.html> 
table

Public Comment/Engagement:
This Public 
Comment<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-review-draft-2015-06-01-en> 
period opened on 1 June and has been extended once to 24 July - total of 53 
days.
*         During ICANN53, Westlake conducted a total of 8 briefings for the 
community, in addition to a briefing included in the public 
session<https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-aoc-org-reviews> on 
Reviews.
*         A total of 64 comments made during these presentations have been 
catalogued and are being considered by Westlake - see the 
posted<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-gnso-review-01jun15/msg00002.html> 
table.

As one additional point:  we were scheduled to have a call next Thursday to 
discuss the comments and begin formulating our recommendation to the SIC on 
which recommendations we think should move into implementation.  I would like 
to suggest that we proceed with the call as scheduled to use the time to touch 
base on comments and begin the conversation on implementation, but certainly 
understand if it would be more advantageous to wait until all public comments 
have been received.

I would appreciate your feedback so we can either send out a new Doodle poll to 
reschedule or plan to proceed as scheduled.

Thanks again for your continued support of this process!  Have a great weekend!

Jen
