Re: [Internal-cg] Reminder: RFP comments due Aug 1
Agree with Milton and note that this was one of the reasons that the timeline seemed aggressive. Thanks‹ J. On 8/1/14, 1:09 , "Milton L Mueller" <mueller@syr.edu> wrote:

I consider the RFP the most complicated and important thing we are working on right now and would firmly resist efforts to rush it through.

Works for me. Right now it’s looking like Aug 20 or 21 might be the best day for our conference call, so perhaps we could push the deadline for RFP comments back to August 13, which then gives Paul a week to revise and get it back out to us for discussion on the call? Or anyone should feel free to suggest a better deadline — I’d just like to have one written down. Alissa On 8/1/14, 8:30 AM, "James M. Bladel" <jbladel@godaddy.com> wrote:

The proposed RFP as drafted is rigid in its format, nearly tabular, suggesting a response in tabular format. The table format encourages terse response. I suspect that the responses to some answers will be substantial, not terse. The format hides the meat of what is needed, which is to show what will change when NTIA steps back. That is perhaps what "transitional implications" means, but it should be extremely clear. Many of the questions asked are a bit opaque. To me, "Name/Identifier" is itself very unclear, and I am sure it will confuse a casual reader. "Customer" is either unclear or uncomfortable. I think this is leaning toward “Who uses this registry and how?” If that is correct, then I think there is a significant overlap with the expected response in “Detailed Description”. I suggest that we need all of the proposals to be geared to a wide readership, so we need to be as helpful as possible in that direction as possible. To this objective, I think that we need to encourage plain language responses. I think we want a narrative proposal, but we should tell the authors which elements that the ICG is expecting to be covered. Russ
We never quite settled on this date, but I think if people can get their comments on the RFP in by Aug 13 at 20:00 UTC, that will give Paul a few days to incorporate edits and produce a new version before our Aug 19 call. I’m working on updating the action items list and will include this deadline in the updated version that I’ll share shortly.
