In reviewing open ICANN comment periods with the ALAC officers today, we were somewhat taken aback by the number and importance of ICANN comment periods that had just opened in the last several days and are scheduled to end soon after the Seoul meeting.

Although we seemed to recall that a commitment had been made to not "count" the time during an ICANN meeting against one month comment periods, that is clearly not being done here. For the Seoul meeting, many of us will spend 7-8 business days in transit or at the meeting, significantly cutting into the time available to comment.
And we noted that although all of these topics are quite important, only the ERSR one could really be viewed as very time-sensitive.
The ALAC will likely request a 2 week extension on all five comment periods. The GNSO Council may wish to consider a similar move.
