[gtld-council] new TLDs: Updated dates list

[Liz Williams <liz.williams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues

Please find  below the list of dates I sent around during the San  
Juan meetings which would have us meeting the deadlines required for LA.
I have added a few more in in italics from the meeting today.  If  
there are any amendments, do let me know.
...

If we are to have a Board Report ready for consideration at the LA  
meeting then we, working backwards, need to:
1. Have the Board Report ready and in the General Counsel's hands 11  
days prior to the 2 Nov Board meeting -- 22 October
2. Internal sign off and final check 14 days prior to preparation of  
Board Report -- 8 October
3. 20 day public comment period on GNSO Council Final Report --  
allowing time for inclusion of results in the Final Report say 30  
days -- 8 September public comment period needs to start. Public  
comments will be included in the Board Report.
4. Final Report will need to be with Council 7 days prior to the  
meeting to vote on it -- release 1 September (Part A, Part B, draft  
RFP, draft base contract and draft implementation plan) and meeting 7  
September
5. That means we need to complete the final negotiations of the  
Committee by, at the latest, 10 August.
6.  Release of draft Report with recommendations to Committee -- 30 July

7.  30 July - 7 August -- last call for amendments to the Report

The first 4 dates are fixed in either the bylaws or the board  
reporting guidelines.
Kind regards.

Liz
