> 
> Dear Community Leaders,
> 
> 
> I communicated to you in Singapore that we would like to receive your support 
> in forming a Focus Group to provide some initial feedback on two specific 
> Public Comment implementation proposals relating to ATRT Recommendations 15, 
> 16 and 17.   
> 
> This email is intended to provide additional details to help you in 
> identifying individuals to participate in this activity.  
> 
> Purpose:  To help ICANN Staff assess the usability and viability of certain 
> implementation constructs related to the Public Comment process as 
> recommended by the ATRT. 
> 
> Team Members: We would prefer to keep the Focus Group relatively small and 
> are therefore requesting one representative from of each ICANN SO, AC or SG.  
> 
> Methodology:  Due to the challenges in scheduling telephone calls/meetings 
> and considering the nature of the topics/questions, our plan is that the 
> group will interact and collaborate via a dedicated space within ICANN's 
> Confluence Wiki environment.  Details (e.g., links, login information) will 
> be sent to the volunteers separately.  At this time, no meetings are planned. 
> 
> Duration:  We anticipate that the feedback period will last one month from 20 
> July through 19 August at which point the dedicated Wiki space will be 
> closed.  
> 
> Content: ICANN Staff will outline two current proposals to the Focus Group 
> and collect initial feedback (via the Wiki).  The two specific topics that 
> the Focus Group's will be asked to provide feedback are:
> 
> Topic 1:  Stratification/Prioritization of Public Comments
> 
> Topic 2. Comment/Reply Structure for Public Comments
> 
> Scope: The Focus Group will be asked specific questions concerning the topics 
> listed above and feedback/responses will be collected via the Wiki. The ATRT 
> Recommendations have been reviewed by the ICANN Community and approved by the 
> ICANN Board; therefore, the Focus Group will not be asked to validate the 
> ATRT Recommendations themselves.
> 
> Outcomes:  The Wiki collaboration and discussion threads will be used by 
> Staff to inform its planning concerning the implementation topics listed 
> above. Staff does not plan to issue any written reports or summaries of the 
> Focus Group's deliberations; however, the Wiki may be opened for public read 
> access once the work is completed.  Elements of the feedback may be 
> incorporated into a formal Public Comment solicitation that will deal with 
> these same topics circa September 2011.  
> 
> I hope you find the above information helpful in identifying and selecting 
> candidates to help with this feedback process.
> 
> We hope to hear back from you with one volunteer contact detail from your 
> group latest by 13 July 2011, in order to start the activity as outlined 
> above.
