Hi All
Please find attached the proposed Initial Report of the
Reconvened WG. This is the full report that includes required sections of
Executive Summary, Background, and Deliberations of the WG along with the
proposed recommendations that were sent to the WG last week in preparation for
that meeting. Like prior versions of the draft recommendations, Thomas has
maintained a preliminary consensus level of “full consensus” for the six
recommendations.
The task for members as a part of the continued consensus
call is to announce any objections to the currently assigned
consensus level by 19 June 2018 at 23:59
UTC. Absent any objections, the Initial report will be prepared
for a 30-day public comment proceeding. Thomas is prepared to have this
extended to the normal 40 days upon presentation to the GNSO Council of the
Reconvened WG’s status at ICANN62.
In addition to submission of objections, if any, members are
also instructed to provide any feedback or proposed edits to this draft
report. Track changes are enabled. You can make your suggested edits
in the Word doc and return back to me for import into the master document.
Written suggestions are also welcome on the mailing list, and I can post the
changes on your behalf in to the master.
Lastly, we still have two outstanding items to resolves as it
relates to the variant principles and the definitive list. Please send
along your support or objection as well.
