Dear all, I made minor changes to the 3rd and 5th paragraphs. My suggestion: "The ISPCP constituency appreciates the dedicated efforts taken by the Board and the GAC to bring to a swift conclusion the definition of the final Applicant Guidebook. We welcome the opportunity to submit the following comments: The ISPCP constituency has always supported the bottom-up multi-stakeholder approach for the development of ICANN policy. This includes the important role of government advice to the Board through the GAC on public policy. The ISPCP believes that for the Applicant Guidebook to command widespread and lasting support it will be necessary for the policy it encapsulates to be capable of being applied by ICANN in an objectively justifiable and non-discriminatory manner, with clarity of meaning and predictability of outcome both for applicants and for other affected parties. We believe that this objective will be aided by drawing a clear distinction between the development of policy and its execution. Our constituency supports the continuous effort on the part of the ICANN Board to accommodate GAC concerns. We welcome this collaboration at this stage in proceedings, but we stress that once the Applicant Guidebook is finalized, the process for determining the outcome of individual applications should be conducted in a neutral and objective way, in accordance with the policy expressed in the Guidebook. In addition we’d like to stress that the whole process should be concluded as quickly and efficiently as possible.

ICANN's mention as follows would satisfy your concerns? Our constituency supports the continuous effort on the part of the ICANN Board to accommodate GAC concerns. We welcome this collaboration at this stage in proceedings, but we stress that once the Applicant Guidebook is finalized, the process for determining the outcome of individual applications should be conducted by ICANN in a neutral and objective way, in accordance with the policy expressed in the Guidebook.

Regarding 5th para amendments there is a slightly different perception of "who is the master of the implementation process?". Tony, can you suggest a more clear wording on this? I'm in support of the original one. Others? Best regards Wolf-Ulrich -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jaime Wagner - PowerSelf [mailto:jaime@powerself.com.br] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 16.
