Dear IRT,

As we head toward our first key milestone of Public Comment Start, I wanted provide you with a project status.

As a reminder we had identified the follow items as deliverables for our first milestone.

¤ Implementation Plan Release for Public Comment (target August 2016)

1. INGO: 90-day claims solution defined

2. List update process defined

3. Draft consensus policy language document

4. Sample Protected Identifier Lists page on IRT wiki page

Status

1. ICANN has received an initial proposal from the TMCH vendor which indicates their willingness to support the project; next step is to evaluate the proposal and discuss the design. This next step can be done after the public comment starts. So we consider this item complete.

2. After our discussion at our last meeting, we’ve selected the on-demand model for updates. We are proposing 45-day turn-around time from the date ICANN receives the changes to the dates the change is effective. This should allow ample time for all affected parties to do their part to update their system. We will seek your agreement on details of this process.

3. The content of the document hasn’t changed much but we have reformatted the document in preparation for web posting. The policy implementation teams at ICANN is attempting define a consistent format for Consensus Policy. I’ll provide this document soon for your review.

4. We’ve created a page in the IRT wiki called “Protected Identifier Lists - Draft Page for Test Purposes Only - Not for Official Use” This page is being used for us to view what the eventual page on the web may look. As you’ll note, it’s in construction phase.

Please let me know if you’d like further information on the status of the project.

Our goal here is that we will use the IRT time for team review of critical items only as this will be our last IRT meeting prior to the public comment start.

Thanks for your support and please look out for more info in advance of our meeting next week.
