I expect the CSG will be putting someone forward. We're getting ourselves 
organized.

Proposed Public Comment Constructs


Dear Community Leaders,

This is a friendly reminder that yesterday was the last day for the call to 
name volunteers to take part in the Focus Group and we only heard back from two 
groups; ALAC and Registries Stakeholder Group.

I hope you can reach out to your groups again and ask whether there are 
interested people to work with us in this group. We believe their feedback will 
be most valuable in this process and having a good representation of the 
various groups of the ICANN community within the Focus Group will be beneficial 
overall.

Please let us know before the beginning of next week as the Focus Group is 
planned to start the work by 20 July 2011.

Thanks for your support and kind regards.

Subject: Form a Focus Group to Provide Feedback on Proposed Public Comment 
Constructs


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.

Kind regards,

Filiz Yilmaz
