Hello Liz,
Given that we are likely to move the document through some versions
before it is final, I recommend the following changes to the timetable
below:
19 October -- distribute Draft Final Report v0.1 to staff for internal
checking
26 October -- distribute Draft Final Report v0.2 to new TLDs committee
for checking
9 November -- distribute Draft Final Report v1.0 to GNSO Council
16 November -- GNSO Council call to vote on recommendations in Draft
Final Report
wc 20 November post and distribute Draft Final Report v2.0 to
supporting
organisations and advisory committees.
Use Draft Final Report v2.0 for further consultations with GAC, for
GNSO
public forum and for any other meetings at Sao Paolo meeting. This
will still be a "Working Document" as it will not yet incorporate
changes in response to advice from the GAC (especially as it
relates to
public policy issues around allowable new gTLD strings). The
document
may also incorporate any updates that result from the technical
tests on
IDNs. It is anticipated that the "Final Report" will be completed
around January 2007.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
