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
