CBUC, I was not able to remotely attend the CBUC session yesterday due to conference line issues. However, I will be sure to catch the recorded session. It was my intent to quickly ask for clarification around the BC Position Statement for PEDNR. I understood from our last BC conference call that a vote was NOT required on this, regardless of my misstatement below. Either way, I submitted a draft of the statement to the BC List on 10/20 for comments and edits, and to date, Marilyn's comments below are all that has been received. May I ask for assistance with a few questions below, please? 1. Are we, in fact, dealing with "new rules" as stated below? Either way, can I get a pointer to where the Constituency Position Statement process is located? I'm sure it probably exists on the ICANN site somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it. 2. Do we need a VOTE on initial position statements like this (Pre-PDP or PDP)? And if so, when and by what platform is that accomplished? Is this process initiated by request to the BC Secretariat? 3. The 11/6 deadline date...what happens if I receive zero feedback? I do understand we are in the middle of Seoul, but I would like to remind everyone that this position statement is beyond the PEDNR working group's deadline. Thank you for the assistance and my apologies for not being in Seoul. Enjoy the remainder of the sessions. Berry A.

Since this requires a vote of the BC [CBUC] are we first asked for edits and comments, and then a vote, or are we actually voting on this version? I know we are trying to learn new rules, but it would be helpful to get that clarification. I really appreciate that you are doing this work, Berry. Will you be joining us in Seoul? It would be good to get acquainted!

My apologies for any confusion. Berry A. Cobb Infinity Portals LLC 866.921.8891 From: Berry Cobb [mailto:berrycobb@infinityportals.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 10:16 To: 'bc-gnso@icann.org' Subject: CBUC Position Statement to PEDNR Working Group CBUC, Attached is the DRAFT Position Statement for CBUC relative to the Post Expiration Domain Name Recovery Working Group. (PEDNR-WG). All comments and suggestions are welcome. With the PEDNR being a Pre-PDP, it is my understanding a formal vote by the CBUC will not occur on this position statement. Rather, it will be reserved for a final CBUC Position statement based on PEDNR outcomes and recommendations. Please advise if you have questions or comments. I will be sure to incorporate all comments and changes to this statement. It is my desire to have this statement returned to the PEDNR - WG by COB 11/6/2009. Thank you. Berry A.
