All,
Below is
new timeline proposed by the Sub Pro Leadership.
In my opinion, these new proposed extensions are quite reasonable and realistic.
They allow the discussion of
the Final Report during the GNSO Council Meeting in January. Leadership expects the Council
will have 1)
the consensus designation prior to the Document Deadline for the January meeting (which is 11 January), and 2)
the minority reports (If any)
before the January meeting itself.
The plan is to
present this
for a vote during the February Council Meeting. If asked for, we may consider to organize
a more in-depth discussion of the report after our January Council
Meeting, before the vote in February.
Let me remind that the Draft Final Report was published last Summer out for comment. It was the result of 5 years of discussions. I have witnessed that Sub Pro Leadership
has been providing the Working Group with
several drafts. The Working Group members have been given an opportunity to
comment and their comments have been shared among the participating members.
The latest drafts contain minor clean ups.
I add my personal gratitude to Staff. Without their relentless support, this was impossible to achieve.
The new
timeline is a
positive response to
people asking for more time. The timeline
will give them
extra days to express support/non-support for the report. It will also add
an extra 10 days for the
minority
report(s).

In sum, with this

Sub Pro Leadership expects the minority
reports (fin any) to be
available to the Council by the time
of the
discussion of the report during the January Meeting.
I look forward to our next Council meeting on Thursday.
