[gtld-council] Regarding public comment on initial report for PDP-Dec05 - new gTLDs

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

In terms of transparency and allowing ongoing public comment, I think it
is reasonable to publish draft Initial reports on the GNSO website, and
allow public comment on those drafts via the GNSO website.

In terms of engaging the wider community including SSAC, GAC, ccNSO, etc
I think we should wait until the Committee has worked through each of
the four terms of reference and has a complete draft policy (or
alternative drafts if there is no clear consensus) to present to the
community via the main ICANN website.   This will then carry the
official designation of "Initial Report".  In the interim it is probably
useful to just designate the draft Initial reports as Draftv1.0, Draft
v2.0 etc.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
