All,

I've reviewed the Board's Comments Matrix and Notes in some detail.  I found it somewhat difficult to extract the key disagreements with and differences from our proposal, given the length and format of the document.

I've prepared a chart attempting to summarize all of the key disagreements/differences (and mentioning a few but not all of the key points of agreement as well). I've also inserted my own notes, as well. 

I found this very helpful and I hope you will too.  If desired, I can put this up as a Google Doc if others want to refine it or comment on it collaboratively.  I'll send a PDF shortly.

Many of the Board's key points have been mentioned in prior discussions or documents.  There is one important point that I don't recall seeing earlier.

The Board essentially rejects the idea of Work Stream 2 and wants all of this work done using other ICANN community processes instead.  This is explained fully in point 47, but foreshadowed in a number of places throughout the document.

I hope you find this useful.

L'shana Tova and Happy New Year to those observing the holiday.

Regards,

Greg
