Good input Heather.  Regarding the next to last bullet ("The Reconvened WG also understands that the GAC is the authoritative channel for any proposed changes that are to be made to the reservation list."), I am not sure that the GAC as an Advisory body can be an authoritative channel.  I think it might be better to change that sentence to something like the following: “The Reconvened WG also understands that the GAC is an important channel for any proposed changes that are to be made to the reservation list.”

Thanks very much, Berry, for getting the WG to this stage.

 

My input below:

  • I agree with the consensus designations as stated.
  • I have no objection to Chuck's proposal that the comment period be extended; for consistency and practicality's sake this is sensible in my view.
  • In the final paragraph on page 3: "It is important to note that the scope of the work of this Reconvened WG did not extend..." I suggest adding for absolute clarity: "It is important to note that the scope of the work of this Reconvened WG did not, per the GNSO Council motion of [DATE], extend".... 
  • I envision a situation where it is unclear whether Recommendation 6 applies on its own, or Recommendation 5 and 6 both apply. I have included this question as a comment in the document.
  • The intention and meaning of the following statement on page 13 isn't clear to me: "The Reconvened WG also understands that the GAC is the authoritative channel for any proposed changes that are to be made to the reservation list."
  • I have suggested some minor edits in the document attached, mainly for clarity.

Best wishes to all,

 

Heather

Dear Berry,

 

As you know from an earlier e-mail to you and Stephane I’m comfortable but I had a few questions about National Societies yet to enter the Movement but on the membership path which I hope will be taken into account.

 

Best wishes

 

Chris

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.
