Dear all,

At the last CPWG call of 20 May 2020, I tabled the first draft of an At-Large proposal for a revised Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) Guidelines. There was a resulting action item for me to circulate this first draft ("the Draft") for comments by CPWG members.

The Draft is accessible by way of a Googledoc (comment-only): Proposed Revisions to CPE Guidelines, 19 May 2020  

Please note that the Draft is my interpretation and application of the comments received (1) during discussions at the 2 CPWG Single Issue Calls on CPE held in April; and (2) the call for comments made during the Single Issue Call of 23 April 2020.

Should you wish to comment on the Draft - and especially if you are not entirely familiar with the issues - I would strongly urge you to first review the following 2 resources:

1. The recording, presentation and chat discussions for the 2nd Single Issue Call on CPE held on 23 April 2020, all found at  https://community.icann.org/x/94PsBw ; and 

2. The recording and presentation on the topic of Community Applications at the CPWG call of 20 May 2020, both found at https://community.icann.org/x/K4cEC , where I have attempted to summarized at a high level, the major issues and corresponding proposed revisions ("fixes") in the latter part of the presentation slide deck.
It would greatly assist the At-Large agenda on CPE if you could highlight any concerns, or provide any comments or indications of support or otherwise on the Googledoc by Friday 29 May 2020, 11:59 UTC.  

On this note, I wish you all a pleasant weekend and happy holidays to those celebrating Eid or another public holiday in your country in next days or coming week.

Thank you and kind regards,

Justine Chew
