Please see the announcement below for further details. The public comment period will close on Saturday 2 April, following which staff will collate the comments received for your review.

This final document will be submitted to our Chartering Organizations (the ccNSO and GNSO Councils) for their consideration and, hopefully, approval. Please encourage your respective communities to review our draft document and send in any comments. In addition, please note that an open community session has been scheduled for ICANN55 in Marrakech, at which our group can present our recommendations for community discussion and feedback.

LAST CALL before posting for public comments: updated draft Framework of Principles document
by Mary Wong Feb. 8, 2016

Feb. 8, 2016

Dear CWG members, As a follow up to my email of 27 January (see further below), I’m writing to ask if you have any other comments or suggestions on the updated Framework of Principles document that was also sent around at the same time, reflecting changes suggested on the January call. You’ll see from the suggested timeline that we are aiming to publish the document for public comment on 19 February and as such will need to have an agreed version before then. If, however, there are no further edits, we can cancel the CWG call currently scheduled for this Thursday 11 February and publish the document “as is” for public comment. If we do so, we will of course note that the final version of the Framework will take into account further comments from CWG members as well as the community, and we will also specifically request feedback on the open questions contained in Section 4.
