Thank you Jim. * I do think it would be good to try to have at least one more meeting before the end of the calendar year at least. Very much agree. I would expect another call toward the end of this month (perhaps early December depending on everyone’s schedules). * I’d like a more detailed review of everything left to be done and the associated actions. If I’m the only one who would like this perhaps you and I could catch up separately early in December. Don’t think you’re the only one who’d like to see this. It’s something we’re actively working to put together for the IRT’s review. I’ll be sure to include a discussion of remaining steps and associated actions in the agenda for our next call.

I have a few items to update you on regarding the T/T implementation: Language Tag Expertise We’re pleased to welcome Michael Everson to our group, who will be advising us on the provisions related to language tags in our policy document. Michael is an expert in the relevant RFCs and in the construction of language tags. Michael, thanks for coming on! I’ve invited you to this email list. In addition to providing advice on the policy document itself, we’ll need to work on putting together a question-and-answer document for him to assess. We’ll discuss what we want to ask him in our next meeting. I’ll create a draft for us to work with. Policy Drafting We’re still in the process of reviewing our last set of revisions based on your most recent feedback. ICANN60 took up a lot of our teams’ time—and I’m sure yours—but we should have an updated version for your review by next week. I’ll set up our next call then. Timeline and Next Steps This is a tough one. We have a strong working policy document that, all things being equal, should be ready for public comment quite soon (this is our next step according to the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system...>). However, all things are not equal in our case: even if we reach an IRT- and Community-approved policy document, we still need to: * Define a number of EPP extensions to communicate language tag data between registries and registrars * Coordinate with the roll-out of RDAP. RDAP’s current pilot program will extend into summer 2018, so we have a bit of time to think about how we want to do this. We’ll discuss further on our end and present some options to you during our next call. Miscellaneous I’m working on putting together a set of FAQs regarding this implementation to be added to the Wiki. I’ll ask for your input on that when it’s ready. That’s all from me for now. Thanks very much and let me know of any questions. Happy weekend!
