As discussed on our last BC members call, we requested a 2 week extension on this public comment period.

The IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IOR) working group granted us 1 week, since they have their own deadlines to analyze comments and prepare their final recommendations to the CCWG. 

This comment is now due by 1-Feb-2017.

Steve,

 

I wanted to confirm that the Co-Chair’s have approved a deadline extension for the IRP Public Comment period for one additional week. 

 

I hope that this will provide sufficient time for your submission.

 

Thank you,

Hi, Karen.

 

As the staff contact for Updated Supplementary Procedures for the IRP[icann.org], we are contacting you to formally request a 2-week extension to the public comment period.  

 

The period is scheduled to end 25-Jan, and we are requesting an extension to 8-Feb, at the earliest.

 

The justification to grant this extension is that we only just received a legal analysis and recommendations for the proposed procedures.    Sidley Austin, attorneys to the CCWG, prepared a legal memo (attached) that was shared with the BC membership only last week (12-Jan).   We’d like to incorporate some of Sidley’s analysis, and need additional time to have BC members review the changes. 

 

I do not see any great urgency to the adoption of IRP procedures, so I hope this request can be granted. 

 

Glad to field questions you may have about this request. 

 

Regards,

Steve
