All,

Attached please find the current draft preliminary report for your consideration. As discussed on the call, IAG members would have one week to propose any changes including the addition of minority statements. Please submit your edits no later than 23:59 UTC on 17 September 2015. ICANN will then seek comment on the document on 24 September 2015. 

Please note some of the larger changes in the document: first, I removed all references to “consensus.” My colleagues in policy support remind me that consensus only applies after public comment is taken into account. Second, I added James’s full proposal to a new Appendix 2. Finally, I cleaned up the formatting.

Thank you again for your input and participation. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the draft.

Best,

Jamie
