All, I see that my message was not clear. I wasn't asking whether we should extend beyond August 20th, just that unless there were objections we would continue through the end of the reply comment period, which ends on 20 August, rather than canceling the reply comment period. I hope this is clearer and I apologize for the confusion. Best regards, Julie From: "J. Scott Evans" <jscottevans@yahoo.com<mailto:jscottevans@yahoo.com>> Reply-To: "J.

Since there is not any objecting comment: does anybody feel it being necessary to extend beyond 20th of August? Otherwise the implementation process could be as usual.

Juli 2012 21:12 An: gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org<mailto:gnso-improvem-impl-sc@icann.org> Betreff: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Public Forum on Changes to Operating Procedures Dear SCI members, The comment period on the changes to the GNSO Council Operating Procedures ended yesterday. There was only one comment received. It was from the Registries Stakeholder Group in support of the changes. See: http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-operating-procedures-2012/. The reply comment period begins today and extends to the 20th of August. Given that many people may be on holiday, it might be useful to continue with the reply period. Please let me know if you would like a different approach. Thank you very much. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
