Here's a Policy Calendar for the BC member call on 6-Mar-2014.

Channel 1. BC participation in ICANN Public Comment process:  
ICANN Public Comment page is here.   Selected comment opportunities below:

Privacy/Proxy Accreditation:   We had no volunteers to handle questions from a PDP working group on Accreditation of Privacy & Proxy services under the new RAA.  Deadline was Friday, so I responded for the BC with previous positions and new questions (not positions).    See my response (link), and please volunteer for this WG and/or attend session in Singapore on an issue that’s vital to BC members.   
1. Status update from expert working group on gTLD Directory Services  (comments closed 28-Feb)
The EWG status update is here, and described on this page (link).   Jimson Olufuye , Tim Chen, and Susan Kawaguchi drafted and we submitted yesterday (attachment)

2. Second Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT 2) Final Report & Recommendations (link)   (reply comments close 15-Mar) 
Steve DelBianco drafted BC comments and circulated for review on 17-Feb.    I am now sorting through 44 comments from BC members and will circuit a consolidated version for final review.   Thanks for your attention to this topic! 

3. Qualified Launch Program for new gTLDs (link) (reply comments close 15-Mar)
The new registry agreement allows operator to register 100 names for itself (or to third parties) for promoting their TLDs — prior to the Sunrise period.

BC wrote to ICANN Board on 22-Oct (link) and 30-Dec (link) regarding this.  
The BC is pleased ICANN acknowledged need for a new review mechanism for inconsistent string confusion decisions.  Inexplicably, this review may look at confusion between .car and .cars, but may not review confusion between .hotel and .hotels.
