I
suggest that Barbara Roseman, as staff manager to the WHOIS TFs, should present
a paper document for Council, outlining the TFs proposed timelines, so that we
are looking at something written. Oral reports about calendar dates are
hard to follow online....Overall, I support the need to provide extended
time frames, within the steps outlined by the PDP.
However, for a longer term consideration, it may at some point be
necessary to modify the PDP. I am not suggesting that Council make
that decision at this time, but as those responsible for policy development on
gTLDs, Council may need at some point to consider modifications to the
PDP. I don't mean to open that topic to discussion at this time,
merely to note it to fellow Councilors.
Finally, we need to ensure that the needed and expected staff support
from ICANN is understood by both ICANN and by the TFs. Timely responses and
turnaround on work will be critical, and we do have many, and perhaps
overlapping demands for work.
