Thats why we could work with "suspend" as to indicate that as soon as the meeting starts the clock stops running for comment periods. 2008/11/5 Gomes, Chuck <cgomes@verisign.com> I am not sure we should restrict it to only comment periods that would end during an ICANN meeting. It seems to me that any comment period that overlaps an ICANN meeting should be extended.

RESOLVED: The GNSO Council strongly urges ICANN Staff to extend, for seven days, any public comment periods which would otherwise end during the seven days of an ICANN meeting. ________________________________ From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Mike Rodenbaugh Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 10:46 PM To: GNSO Council Subject: [council] Motion re Suspension of Public Comment Periods 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 extend all public comment periods which would otherwise end during an ICANN meeting, for seven days.
