As long as the review and revision does not make any assumptions, interpretations or additions not present or agreed by the overall group, and there is sufficient time between the completion of the new draft and the final proposed delivery date to allow a thorough review by the team. I am fine with that approach. I also have no sense of urgency on the completion of our report: If we do not make it by the end of January, so be it. I would much rather like to see an accurate and untimely final report than a report with issues remaining that is delivered on time. Volker Am 01.11.2018 um 17:41 schrieb Alan Greenberg:
As you may know, Lisa Phifer will not be able to work with us to complete the report, and MSSI is looking at options for an editor. It will not be anyone with knowledge of the subject.
The draft report was too long and not cohesive, so I think it needs a careful overall review and revision. Since the editor will not have a feel for the intent of the analysis and recommendations, it will fall on us to do a fair amount of the work. Given my lessened responsibilities with regard to At-Large, I am willing to do at least part of this. We will need to adjust the timeline, both for the rework and to have team members sign off.
We meet 10-12 December which leaves just one week before the holiday season. That will not be enough time to complete the substantive edits and to clean up the overall report. So we will definitely go into January. My target is to issue the report no later than the end of the month.
If there is a 50 day public comment once submitted to the Board (which is what was done for the CCT Review), that puts the comment ending about a week after the end of the Kobe meeting.
With the support of Cathrin and Susan, I have suggested that we plan for:
- An engagement session with the community; and
- An opportunity for the RT leadership (and other team members if appropriate) to meeting with Board and/or ICANN Org to clarify or elaborate on any aspect of the report.
Although it is not yet certain, we may have limited funding to support a small number of people travelling to Kobe. If you can attend the meeting and have no other source of funding, please let me know ASAP. Anyone funded should be able to speak on a significant number of the areas we are addressing in the report and making it clear that in the absence of our funding you are unlikely to attend. Please reply no later that Sunday, 4th November as travel lists need to be submitted two days later. Presuming more interest than we have funding, the selection will be done by the RT leadership.
