I just want to highlight some key points although Emily made them as well.  Hopefully if we say it multiple times, there will be less confusion.  Remember also that we have been through these materials at least five or six times over the years (if not more).

 

1. There are 6 topics here:
1. Applicant Guidebook
2. Communications
3. Systems
4. Fees
5. Applicant Submission Period
6. Applicant Terms and Conditions

 

2. Please limit comments to items in the revised sections that you absolutely “cannot live with.” If there is text that you cannot accept, please fill out the attached form and send it to the WG by email. Please do not provide your input in any other format.

 

3. Deadline for comments is Tuesday, April 21^st at 23:59 UTC

 

4. Comments will be tracked here:  https://community.icann.org/x/JDKJBw.

 

Thanks all 😊

 

 

 

Dear all,  

 

As discussed by the Co-Chairs on today’s call, the leadership team is providing with this email a series of revised draft final recommendations for your review, specifically: 2.4.1 Applicant Guidebook, 2.4.2 Communications, 2.4.3 Systems, 2.5.1 Application Fees/2.5.2 Variable Fees (these two are combined into a single section), 2.5.3 Application Submission Period, and 2.5.5 Terms & Conditions. Revisions are based on Working Group feedback, discussion on calls, and mailing list contributions. The purpose of this exercise is to prepare sections for the draft Final Report so that the draft Final Report can be published for public comment. This is not a consensus call. As discussed, the deadline for comments from WG members on these sections (package 1) is Tuesday 21 April at 23:59 UTC. Please see below for instructions on providing comments.

 

A clean version of the revised sections is available in read-only format here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hh8Wj3IwXvi91Am1k4Zoooct2zmPOmVe1pLmjQLuQuo/edit#. If you prefer to view the sections in redline, please see the relevant sections of the working document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kUlmZH8nxWTgfcRluA5FxLheMm4XhhOwkRt7om52aQU/edit#). At this stage, please do not add comments to the working document in the above referenced sections.

 

Please limit comments to items in the revised sections that you absolutely “cannot live with.” If there is text that you cannot accept, please fill out the attached form and send it to the WG by email. Please do not provide your input in any other format.

 

We will be tracking the release of revised draft recommendations and the feedback WG members submit on the wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/JDKJBw. Any issues identified will be addressed and resolved on the mailing list, or if necessary, scheduled for discussion on a subsequent call.

 

Kind regards,

Steve, Julie, and Emily
