All, My apologies for missing the last string of CPWG calls on account of clashes with other WG calls or timing issues. I've caught up with the 20 Sep call recording. Based on what I could work out from the discussion on this draft ALAC Statement, I have since adjusted some of the draft replies pertaining to the issue of "rounds". Also, with the help of some very supportive folks in this group, I had prior to today and as of today posted a WIP Summary (on pg 2) as well as draft responses to:- - 2.2.2 Predictability & Clarity of Application Process - 2.2.3 Applications Assessed in Rounds/Batching Applicant Assessment (incl. Continuing Subsequent Procedures (2.2.1.c.1)) - 2.2.4 Different TLD Types - 2.2.5 Application Submission Limits - 2.2.6 Accreditation Programs (for preliminary recommendations but not questions) - 2.4.1 Applicant Guidebook - 2.4.2 Communications - 2.5.1 Application Submission Period - 2.5.4 Applicant Support (updated) - 2.6.1 Application Queuing - 2.8.1 Objections - 2.8.2 Accountability Mechanisms *Marita Moll* and *Nadira Alaraj* posted responses to 2.9.1. Community Applications / CPE (thank you!) Happy commenting then. Justine *ps. Jonathan, I don't think it's crucial for us to respond to 2.2.7 Applicant Reviews.* ----- On Fri, 21 Sep 2018 at 23:19, ICANN At-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org> wrote:
