Dear Councillors,
As per PDP Manual Section 6, Staff would like to request a 30-day extension for the delivery of the final Issue Report on the Review of all RPMs in all gTLDs. The reason are:
- There were a significant number of public comments submitted
- The holiday period means that the 30 day deadline is effectively only 24 days
- Some internal coordination with the Charter-drafting for the New gTLD Subsequent Round PDP is necessary
- Requiring some additional staff feedback from other departments such as Compliance, Legal, GDD.
If the extension were granted, staff would work towards meeting the deadline for the second January Council meeting (11 January 2016).
We hope you will agree to the extension, in the meantime, enjoy your holidays and happy 2016!
Very best wishes,
Lars
