Mawaki, From the Sao Paolo GNSO Council meeting transcript: >>BRUCE TONKIN: The board, however, has asked for the constituencies to respond to the LSE report itself and there is a public comment forum that has been set up for the LSE report. And I looked at it a couple of days ago and it had zero comments, so I think the board certainly welcomes at this point of time comments from, I guess, members of the GNSO community as individual members. But, also, I think they are looking for feedback from constituencies. And I know the registry constituency has prepared a submission. I believe the registrars will bear a submission. And I'm not clear on the status of other constituencies. Is that an indication that the business constituency will do so? Yes. I think what I would recommend the council do is advise constituencies to formally respond to the LSE report itself and other than that, we will wait to hear back from the board before we initiate any further activity on our side. Marilyn? >>MARILYN CADE: I think I said on the record earlier and I think Philip or Alistair probably just acknowledged that the business constituency is working on comments but I think we should be realistic for ourselves and for the board and suggest that we have a reasonable amount of time and I am not talking about a lengthy amount of time but a reasonable amount of time in order for the constituencies to get comments back in. Are we talking two weeks? Or are we talking the Monday after I get back from the ICANN meeting? Do we have any idea? >>BRUCE TONKIN: The board wasn't clear on that but certainly I think I can report back to the board in the public forum the discussion that's ensued here. So let me ask you, how long do you think you need to respond to the LSE report? >>MARILYN CADE:Me for doing a consultation at the table. But I would think most constituencies need two weeks. Does any other constituency want to comment on that? >>TONY HOLMES: The ISP constituency considered this in their constituency meeting yesterday, and we are a fair way down the road now. But probably a two-week period would be a fine just to get input from members who are not able to attend this meeting. >>BRUCE TONKIN: I am not sure what the board timetable is because it probably relates a bit there. >>KEN STUBBS: Bruce? >>BRUCE TONKIN: Yeah. Go ahead, Ken. >>KEN STUBBS: I would like to make an informal proposal if I could and that is we consider extending the period for comments for two weeks following the conclusion of this meeting here. I think that would give us an adequate time and I believe it would also give the board an opportunity to review and take a look at these comments between now and -- >>BRUCE TONKIN: I will recommend that to the board then and say the GNSO constituencies will commit to give something back to them two weeks following this meeting so they have an expectation of when we will get back to them and then they can hopefully set some expectations as to when they will get back to us. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk?
