Thanks again for all of the efforts that went into producing a thorough and substantive set of comments. As I've mentioned, it will be very helpful to have the BC's input as we're finalizing the report, particularly since there have not been many comments filed. The BC's earlier comments helped to shape our thinking and prioritize issues within the report.

These are initial comments of the BC on this draft report, which we acknowledge filing during the portion of comment period designated for reply comments. While the BC supports a two-part comment period, we are finding that the time for initial comments should be lengthened. In addition, we believe that comment periods should be extended whenever an ICANN public meeting occurs during the comment period. Public meetings require intense participation for several a days, leaving little time to prepare public comments. A simple solution would be to add 7 days to any public comment period that includes dates of an ICANN public meeting.
