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. https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo/2018-June/000156.html Reconvened WG's Timeline: 07 June - complete Next meeting of the Reconvened WG (start of consensus call) 14 June - complete Reconvened WG meeting not required 18-21 June Start of Public Comment Period 23-28 June ICANN62* 18 July Close of Comment Period (30 days per Council resolution)** 19 July Reconvened WG meeting to review comments and prepare Final Report 26 July Reconvened WG meeting to review comments and prepare Final Report 28 July Close of Comment Period (40 days per standard) 02 August Reconvened WG meeting to review comments and prepare Final Report 06 August GNSO Council's Documents and Motion deadline / Send Final Report 16 August GNSO Council meeting * No planned session, but an update will be provided to the GNSO Council. ** Note that the Council resolution that kicked off this effort mentions a (30) day public comment period.
