Milton,

I don’t think that relying mostly on public comment periods is a very good approach to the multi-stakeholder model and certainly not very bottom-up.  Comment periods are useful for checking the results of consensus processes and are very important in that regard, i.e., for a last call as you suggest.  But getting broad input at the end seems too late to me.

What process do you think would be duplicated?

Every chartering organization is represented on the CWG. What stops you from having all participants, including people within the so-called chartering organizations, provide public comment on a “last call” proposal at the same time? Why must every organization run a separate process to formally “adopt” a proposal when their representatives are the ones who made the proposal? Why duplicate process?

Regarding the timeline, as I stated in our in-person meeting in L.A., I have concerns about the feasibility of the next to last step (Adoption by chartering organizations of final transition proposal) being done in 11 days.
