Thanks Emily.  I do need to add one item to the agenda as discussed below.

 

I am a bit confused by the notes on the CCWG discussion relative to Comments to Question 1 filed by the BC.   This is on page 7 of the Comments to Question 1. The BC comment was to amend the Final Report to include a recommendation for a REQUIRED feasibility study comparing the relative costs of the mechanisms that the WG will recommend.  The reference to feasibility study on page 12 of the report is a reference to the idea that the CCWG recognizes that the ICANN Board “may” conduct a feasibility assessment.  This is not a Recommendation and it is not even Implementation Guidance.  The IPC also made this recommendation – perhaps in response to a different question.

 

 

The notes from the last call refer to the status of  a feasibility assessment as “Implementation Guidance” Thus, the CCWG apparently agreed in the last call that this constituted Implementation Guidance  (and did not adopt it  as a WG  Recommendation).  The language of the proposed Final Report does not track with the CCWG Agreement that the need for a feasibility study constitutes Implementation Guidance.    Therefore, it is indeed an Action Item for the language on page 12 of the proposed Final Report to be revised to change “the ICANN Board MAY conduct a feasibility assessment…” to “… the Implementation Review Team  is advised to conduct a feasibility assessment” or something similar.

 

Thank you,

Anne
