Subject: [ssac-gnso-irdwg] FINAL REVIEW DUE 14 NOV: IRD-WG Interim
Report and Announcement

 

Dear IRD-WG members,

As we discussed at our meeting on Monday, here is the final IRD-WG
Interim Report (in Word and .pdf) as well as the Public Forum
Announcement and Public Comment box.  It includes all of the changes
provided by WG members.  Thank you very much for all of your input.  We
also are working on slides and will get them out to you as soon as
possible.  Please note that our next meeting will be held on Monday, 22
November at 0800 PST/1100 EST/1600 UTC.

We made some additional changes in the attached version of the Interim
Report.  The majority of them are cosmetic, including grammatical edits,
formatting, and arranging the content in numbered sections.  We also
separated the single table into to several parts to make it easier to
read.  In addition, we swapped the references for footnotes (as is more
standard for ICANN documents) and incorporated the Annex as a footnote
too.

However, there are two changes to which we would like to call your
attention:

1.      The preliminary recommendations (the same as those that the
IRD-WG presented in Brussels) were previously embedded in the Interim
Report that you reviewed and accepted.  We have arranged them in a
separate section, but they are still clearly identified and described as
preliminary (not final) recommendations.  (See Section 5.)  In addition,
they are included in the questions for community discussion. 
2.      The questions for community discussion are detailed in Section
6.  These also appear in the announcement/public comment box document.


If you have any final comments on the Interim Report or the Public Forum
Announcement please send them to me no later than SUNDAY, 14 NOVEMBER.
Please note that we must be able to finalize and post the Interim Report
by Monday, 15 November in order for it to be considered in Cartagena.
We have set a 60-day public comment period and we are requesting
translation into the six UN languages, with the emphasis that the
Spanish version should be done, if possible, in time for Cartagena. 

We want to make sure that the Interim Report reflects the discussions of
the IRD-WG and if there are any objections to the above changes we will
address them according to your suggestions.

Thank you very much for all your help!

Best regards,

Julie
