+1. Larry Strickling has stated that the community has only one chance to get this right. In addition, not only is September 30th not a deadline but NTIA has acknowledged that it is subject to the appropriations rider enacted in December which prohibits the transition taking place by September 30th. A two part comment period (initial comment followed by reply) is now standard for much less important issues addressed by the ICANN community, so that certainly should be the minimum expected for a permanent new accountability framework. A full comment period will also facilitate the detailed fine-tuning that will improve the overall proposal, build community support, and thereby substantially reduce the likelihood of any future actions by Congress to forestall the transition.

I think it would be terribly irresponsible of us to make the kind of reforms we need for WS1 with only one single 20-day comment period. There are significant impacts to these measures that must be explored by the community before we could possibly undertake them. We are redesigning a global governance institution and need to take the time to do it right, which includes community consultation and an iterative process of reaching recommendations. This cannot be achieved without a reply or 2nd comment period to take the public comments on board. Nor can it be done before we have independent legal advice that the community can weigh and consider. These are complex issues with significant implications for many stakeholders - more significant than anything ICANN has done in a decade. Larry Strickling has said several times that 30 Sept is not a deadline and that the IANA contract would be extended while the community takes the necessary time to get the important issues right.

We need to revisit this item again. Regards Kavouss 2015-03-22 16:57 GMT+01:00 Jordan Carter <jordan@internetnz.net.nz<mailto:jordan@internetnz.net.nz>>: It's important to be clear that the current schedule proposes: ONE public comment period for WorkStream 1 matters (pre-transition) ONE public comment period for WorkStream 2 matters (post-transition) It remains to be seen whether it is possible to construct our pre-transition proposal based on one comment period - hopefully this will be clear by Tuesday afternoon. bests Jordan On 22 March 2015 at 17:51, Seun Ojedeji <seun.ojedeji@gmail.com<mailto:seun.ojedeji@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Kavouss, According to the timeline, there seem to be two 40 days public comments planned for the ccwg. http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/internal-cg/attachments/20150129/c9bfee6e/ICG-...
