This is great news folks, we have another week to get our comments in.  
Please take a look at the documents and let me know if you have points 
we need to raise, I will circulate the docs in a day or two for approval 
of the policy committee.  There is a very helpful questionnaire for 
feedback geared around the recommendations, but you really need to read 
the report to grasp some of the recommendations.

Hello GNSO Review Working Team:

Thank you again for your continued time and commitment to this process.  
As you may have seen from our email thread, there have been some 
concerns expressed about the 24 July (today) deadline to provide public 
comments.  I am reaching out to let you know that the schedule can 
accommodate extending the deadline for one additional week to 31 July so 
that any groups or individual who wish to comment  have one more week to 
respond.  I appreciate those groups who have completed their public 
comments and encourage everyone to have your respective groups provide 
comments by next week’s deadline, which will be the final deadline in 
order for the finalized report to be issued on 31 August.

I have summarized the comments received to date below:

*_Comments to date:_*

·Brand Registry Group has submitted a comment 
<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-gnso-review-01jun15/msg00000.html> on 
16 July

·Registry Stakeholder Group has submitted a comment 
<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-gnso-review-01jun15/msg00001.html> on 
23 July

·In progress are comments from ISPCP and ALAC – all expected to be 
submitted by the current due date of 24 July.  There may be others, but 
staff is not currently aware of this.

·64 comments provided verbally during ICANN53 sessions – see posted 
<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-gnso-review-01jun15/msg00002.html> table 


*_Public Comment/Engagement:_*

This Public Comment 
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-review-draft-2015-06-01-en> 
period opened on 1 June and has been extended once to 24 July – total of 
53 days.

·         During ICANN53, Westlake conducted a total of 8 briefings for 
the community, in addition to a briefing included in the public session 
<https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-aoc-org-reviews> on 
Reviews.

·         A total of 64 comments made during these presentations have 
been catalogued and are being considered by Westlake – see the posted 
<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-gnso-review-01jun15/msg00002.html> table. 


As one additional point:  we were scheduled to have a call next Thursday 
to discuss the comments and begin formulating our recommendation to the 
SIC on which recommendations we think should move into 
implementation.  I would like to suggest that we proceed with the call 
as scheduled to use the time to touch base on comments and begin the 
conversation on implementation, but certainly understand if it would be 
more advantageous to wait until all public comments have been received.

I would appreciate your feedback so we can either send out a new Doodle 
poll to reschedule or plan to proceed as scheduled.

Thanks again for your continued support of this process!  Have a great 
weekend!

Jen
