As long as the SGs are supportive of this approach, I would be fine with it. My concern has been that the SGs and their respective members were being force to compact their implementation of the process in a manner that would not allow enough time. My first reaction when I heard indirectly about the extension was to assume that the deadline for GNSO endorsements would be extended to correspond to the application period extension so I tested that assumption was told that was incorrect. I found that unacceptable because it seriously compromised the process we had approved.

My personal opinion is that therefore the selectors should take the burden of this confusion and shift the announcement of the RT members. 1 week shift is a minimum, 2 weeks would be satisfactory.

This is totally unacceptable. Chuck – You make the point that the issue of 2 or 4 reps must be dealt with as a separate issue. If that’s the case, by the same token so must the issue of the timetable for GNSO endorsement. As a minimum any decision on this must require council support, its’ far too big an issue for an arbitrary decision by the council chair. This activity gets to the very heart of ICANN’s future.

The rationale for my decision is really very simple. This extension was made without consultation with the GNSO and without any consideration of the approved GNSO endorsement process. Once I found out about it (today after the Council meeting, on the last day of the application period), I asked one simple question: will the deadline for GNSO endorsements be extended by the same amount of time? I was told no; GNSO endorsements are still do the end of August. The Council approved a process that gives SGs 21 days to to perform their endorsement processes and then allows time for the Council in consultation with its respective groups. We were given 45 days for our process; with the extension we would have two days and we don’t have a Council meeting scheduled until the middle of September. I can see no way to make that work. If the time to execute the process was extended by the same number of days as the application period, which I assumed was the right thing to do, I would not have reacted the way I did. Normally, I would have at least consulted on the Council list before acting; in this case I made the judgment that any more delays would just add to the confusion and seriously hinder our ability to meet the end of August deadline. I am not a aware of a GNSO policy council. I assume you mean the GNSO Council that is tasked with managing the policy development process. I also believe that having 4 reps on the SSR RT is important, but that is a separate issue. I sent a message off in that regard to the selectors this morning. Feel free to send any letter you like. I think it would be good for the Board to know how this came about because it was totally unacceptable.

I have no idea why this is viewed as acceptable. It is not acceptable to my constituency. Frankly, the GNSO poiicy council should have been spending time on advocating to change the number of reps from the GNSO [as an SO] from 2 to 4, as all of us believe is critically important. I have seen no energy on that front and that disappoints me. Instead, I am seeing this notice from you, as chair of the policy council, that surprises me, and actually, shocks me. and, I guess, disappoints me. There is a notice of an extension. I sent that out immediately. It is broadly distributed in the business community. I told people of the extension. Where has your decision come from? an edict from ICANN? If so, then this needs to be made public, and the leaders of the SGs need to be engaged. Let's sort through this and why this can't be accepted. the extension has to be applied to all. All of us are, in the community of leadership in the SGs are working hard to work with the gnso policy council, but to see an announcement from the chair of the policy council that suggests that the extension does not apply to GNSO candidates is mystifying, confusing and cannot be supported by the BC chair. upon receipt of the extension, like any good chair of a constituency, and executive member of a SG, I distributed the ICANN staff announcement about an extension to the BC and other leadership of CSG. I advised my constituency and others of the extension. I could say: I just don't get it. What is the process to decide that an extension that is announced does not apply to the GNSO candidates? I have no idea what you mean by "unless notified to the contrary", but it must be a code for something. Please call me at 202 252 6787 on my cell. At this point, I am writing a letter of concern to the full Board that this extension which is now publicly available, is denied to GNSO candidates. Fill me in on why I should not send that letter. You can call my cell at 202 251 6787.
