All,
Carlos, thank you for your comments. Seeing no volunteers to hold the pen, staff is happy to prepare an initial draft for your consideration, especially given the contracted timelines until the next Council meeting.
With a vote expected to consider and approve this letter at the 13 October 2016 GNSO Council meeting, staff has prepared a draft motion, also for your consideration. Unfortunately, the document and motion deadline is today – any volunteers to put forth this motion (with any necessary edits of course)?
We will try to provide the draft letter as soon as possible, as ideally, it should be available with the motion,
Best,
Steve

Thank you vey much Steve for the excellent overview of the comments to Chairman´s Crocker letter to date. From my personal point of view, I belong to the group of the subsequent procedures PDP, that wonders what the (short term vs. long term) context of the question is. And just because of that, I´m a strong supporter of a very conservative stance.
My initial suggestion for a clear formulation of a response at the Council level, is to structure around the main (contentious) issues/areas, including its pro and con arguments, instead of listing the source of all the different positions. From that perspective I see 4 main areas/chapters for a structure of the response:
1. All the pending studies and PDPs that are analyzing the impact or the 2012 round and will produce related recommendations: RPM, Subsequent procedures and CCT-RT. (In general it worked well, but it needs more refinement)
2. The question if the 2007 ¨policy¨ is strong enough for subsequent procedures without any mayor changes.
2.a including the policy equal treatment of all applications (without any categorization), as compared to restrictions over certain groups of possible new TLDs (Geographic names, Communities, etc.)
3. if the AGB is strong enough as a ¨predictable application process¨ for subsequent procedures, and if not, which type of revisions it needs
3.a including the question of global fairness (or underserved areas)
4. if the ¨implementation/delegation¨ of new gTLDs of the last round was good enough, or there are few lessons that should be carefully analyzed and improvements introduced before new delegations
After reading the summary document I see how a general consensus gets more and more difficult, as we go down the list here proposed. Then it should be pretty obvious that the Boards main question should be answered with a pretty clear ¨NO shortcuts¨.
But I also want to hear what the other members of the team think.
