Hi All,
Please find a revised proposed timeline. We will discuss this in detail at our next session scheduled for June 7th at 14:00 UTC.
07 June | Next meeting of the Reconvened WG (possible start of consensus call) |
14 June | Reconvened WG meeting if required |
18 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 |
** Note that the Council resolution that kicked off this effort mentions a (30) day public comment period. However, the standard is (40) days. With ICANN62 occurring we will be challenged by hosting a (30) day period given ICANN meeting and travel and US holiday. In the past, shorter comment periods during meetings has been met with resistance. Conducting a (40) day period only leaves the WG with one standard scheduled meeting before the Council’s Motion and Documents deadline.
The WG will need to make a decision as to how long the forum should last and depending on the decision, the WG may have to adjust its meeting schedule (perhaps meet twice in one week) to fully review comments and prepare the final report by 06 August.
Thank you.

Subject: [Gnso-igo-ingo] Reconvened WG Timeline - Proposed
Hi All,
Below is a tentative timeline to complete the work of the Reconvened WG. Given the work remaining to ready the report & definitive list for public comment, a 30-40 day public comment period, ICANN62, and review of comments to Final Report, it is not likely we will be able to meet the 9 July 2018 Documents & Motions deadline to submit the report to the GNSO Council. Therefore, the following timeline is proposed:
23,24, or 25 May | Next meeting of the Reconvened WG (possible start of consensus call) |
31 May | Reconvened WG meeting if required |
04 June | Start of Public Comment Period |
23-28 June | ICANN62 |
04 July | Close of Comment Period (30 days per Council resolution) |
05 July | Reconvened WG meeting to review comments and prepare Final Report |
12 July | Reconvened WG meeting to review comments and prepare Final Report |
14 July | Close of Comment Period (40 days per standard) |
19 July | Reconvened WG meeting to review comments and prepare Final Report |
26 July | 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 |
You will notice there’s a bit of slack in the initial timeline should we not be able to start the consensus call after we review the draft recommendations at next week’s meeting. Given current agreements among the Reconvened WG, it is doubtful we will need the four meetings to review the comments and prepare the final report. As stated, it’s the 9 July deadline that makes this a tight schedule, but not impossible to meet. However, given current workloads and decisions about a 30 or 40 day public comment period, and not know the amount of comments received make it risky to achieve.
Of course, this proposed timeline is up for discussion on the list and at our next meeting. We welcome thoughts and input from WG members.
Thank you.
