[council] DAG v3

Is it just me or were we expecting the DAV v3 by September 30? In recent communications (Peter's letter to the GAC for example) this was the date quoted. Whilst I am not too bothered by the delay what does concern me is that ICANN staff have simply left us in the dark as to the progress. If ICANN knew it was going to be late why not make an announcement to clarify? Why keep us guessing? Very frustrating for the Community for which they serve. Perhaps they were too busy celebrating with the US Government to care? Is it [possible to request a response from staff? Adrian Kinderis
