I agree with Dr. Lisse 100%.

ICANN staff must not set the timetables for any consensus process. Nor should any committee (co-)chairs.

So,

now ICANN staff decides what comment period is acceptable.

Outrageously unacceptable and objected to.

I am still waiting for the response to my request to be provided with the notes or emails where this was discussed and approved by the CCWG.

Note on behalf of Thomas, Leon and Mathieu about the CCWG proposal 30-day public comment period.

Hi everyone,

We have seen comments about the 30-day public comment period. You will remember this has been our intention since we discussed planning in Istanbul, and we concluded this discussion on the CCWG call of 30 April. The outcome was to propose the first public comment should be for 30 days, which would allow time for us to prepare a response for the ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires. It is particularly important that we are able to respond to the dependencies identified by the CWG-Stewardship.

Recognizing that the shorter public comment is not ideal for a subject of such importance to the community, we also took into account the fact that we will to hold a second public comment period some weeks after ICANN53 when we will seek input on any outstanding issues and provide details and explanation prompted by discussions with the community from the first public comment and during ICANN53.

The public comment announcement includes the remark "Because this (first) Public Comment period is less than the required 40-day minimum, it has been approved by two ICANN Global Leaders." The term Global Leaders is a reference to senior members of the ICANN staff and the condition was created to ensure that a check existed so that a single ICANN department would not depart from the standard default time period without broader senior staff input. The public comment guidelines and procedures are available on the public wiki https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=48344695
