Dear Councilors,

Please note that the public comment period for the Initial Report of the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights PDP Working Group has been extended, on request, to 30 March 2017 (see below for further information). We hope this will allow your respective communities sufficient time to consider submitting comments to the report.

For your information, a 30-minute slot has been allocated for the Working Group co-chairs – as has been done for the other ongoing PDP Working Groups – to discuss progress with the Council and GNSO community as part of the GNSO Working Sessions on Sunday 12 March. To maximize the discussion time, you may wish to consider sending in any questions you or your communities may have for each PDP Working Group ahead of time – staff will be pleased to collate and circulate the questions on your behalf.

Thanks and cheers

Mary

Subject: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Comment period extended for the Initial Report

Dear all,

In view of community requests received for an extension of the public comment period for our Initial Report, the Working Group co-chairs have agreed to an extension of 2 weeks following the close of the upcoming ICANN58 Public Meeting. The comment period will now close on 30 March 2017: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/igo-ingo-crp-access-initial-2017-01-20-en[icann.org].

We do not anticipate this extension affecting the current plan to discuss our preliminary recommendations, and feedback received so far, with the community at ICANN58. There have been several comments received to date, as some members will have noted: https://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-igo-ingo-crp-access-initial-20jan17/[forum.icann.org]. Staff will of course continue to encourage interested community groups and members to submit their comments as soon as they can.

Thanks and cheers

Mary
