Hi all: several Councilors would like to introduce and pass this motion today, whilst we have several different, significant and ongoing public comment periods. Therefore I make the motion. Whereas, ICANN's meetings require the full attention of GNSO Councilors and many other GNSO participants. Whereas, ICANN has many ongoing public comment periods of significant interest to many GNSO Councilors and participants. Whereas, ICANN's typical comment periods are already difficult for many members of the ICANN community, particularly those that must consult with members of their Constituency and/or member organization(s). RESOLVED: The GNSO Council strongly urges ICANN Staff to suspend all public comment periods during the seven days of each ICANN meeting, thereby extending the length of those pending comment periods by seven days each.
