Dear IGO&INGO IRT, Below is the email reply from Stéphane. Unfortunately, we did not get a formal support from the RySG and it does not look like we’ll be getting one soon. And therefore, we must press on. Please accept the invitation that just went out for a meeting on Thursday. It’s important that we discuss this matter and I hope the IRT members who are part of the RySG can shed some light. Especially, if there are objections to what we are implementing. There is also an implementation note we’d like IRT to review regarding the RPM in context of our policy. I look forward to your attendance and participation. Thanks Dennis Chang From: Stéphane Van Gelder - Milathan <svg@milathan.ltd> Date: Monday, September 25, 2017 at 11:47 PM To: Dennis Chang <dennis.chang@icann.org> Cc: "regycon@googlegroups.com" <regycon@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: [Ext] RySG Comments on the Proposed Implementation of the Protected IGO&INGO Identifiers Hi Dennis, I apologise for the time it has taken to get back to you on this. As I previously indicated, I forwarded your letter to the RySG upon receipt and there has been discussion in the SG on this topic since then. Although members did voice appreciation that ICANN staff reached out to the SG in this proactive fashion to determine our level of support for the proposal as drafted in your letter, the SG as a whole has not ratified a formal position of support. As such, I am loath to try and sum up an SG position for you, beyond the aforementioned appreciation for the way staff have handled this and also, I think it's fair to say, a feeling that the proposal itself is a good faith attempt at taking registry views and realities into account. I have copied the SG on this response so that any individual registry wishing to liaise with you further on this matter can do so.

Could you advise me when we could expect a reply from RySG to my letter? It’s important for the policy implementation team and the IRT to know that what we will announce for implementation will be supported by RySG. Thank you for your efforts in the consensus policy.
