Dear all,

ICANN is asking for your feedback on the implementation plans of three Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT) recommendations (15, 16 and 17) that affect the way ICANN publishes and manages Public Comments:

• Stratification: Categorisation of topics to assist the community understand the subject matter and inform a participation decision.
• Prioritisation: Assist community members in determining the importance or urgency of a solicitation by providing key information.
• Comment/Reply Cycles: Structure the community's input process into an initial period for submitting new comments followed by a separate reply period during which community respondents would be able to address and rebut arguments raised in opposing parties' previous comments.
  

For more information, see: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-31aug11-en.htm

Your comments are welcome until 15 October at http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-enhancements-ii-31aug11-en.htm

Kind regards,

Gabi
