Pushing towards the final report
Hi folks, As we push towards a final report, I thought it would be wise to invest the time to double-check our (amended) charter: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48347887/WG%20Charter%20-%2... (just like I double-checked parts of our initial public report from January 2017 last night) to make sure we've covered everything. I think we've actually done what we were supposed to do in the charter (I'll re-read it again later more carefully, but others might want to do the same, if they haven't thought of this). Given the expected scrutiny from the GAC/IGOs, it might be prudent to add sentences here and there in the Final Report, to document that we did cover each and every topic some (or maybe in an appendix). e.g. something like (from page 3) "The potential need to clarify whether the URS is a Consensus Policy binding on ICANN’s contracted parties;" Well, we know it's not a consensus policy (although someday it might be, depending on the RPM PDP). A sentence in the final report might dispatch that item. An item like "The need to address the issue of cost to IGOs and INGOs to use curative processes; and" is easy, since that forms part of a recommendation (i.e. Recommendation 4), which may or may not reach consensus. The item "The potential need to distinguish between a legacy gTLD and a new gTLD launched under the New gTLD Program;" isn't hard, i.e. no real distinction, except that the URS applies only to new gTLDs (for now), and that there was also the old reserved list for IGOs in new gTLDs (and an upcoming policy and/or recently approved (not sure if it was implemented yet) policy that made another reserved list for IGOs in all gTLDs) Maybe a 2-column table can be made, with the items on page 3-4 in the first column, and then a cross-reference to either the final report page(s) that cover that topic, or alternatively, cross-references to the Wiki or Mailing List archives, etc. Anyhow, this would be "dotting the i's and crossing the t's" for the final report. But, it would demonstrate that we've been diligent. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
