RE: [council] Motion re Extension of Public Comment Periods

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for considering this late-breaking motion.  Here is an amended
version of the "Resolved" paragraph -- to clarify 'extension' vs.
'suspension.

 

RESOLVED:

 

The GNSO Council strongly urges ICANN Staff to extend, for seven days, any
public comment periods which would otherwise end during the seven days of an
ICANN meeting.

Subject: [council] Motion re Suspension of Public Comment Periods

 

Hi all:  several Councilors would like to introduce and pass this motion
today, whilst we have several different, significant and ongoing public
comment periods.  Therefore I make the motion.

 

Whereas, ICANN's meetings require the full attention of GNSO Councilors and
many other GNSO participants.

 

Whereas, ICANN has many ongoing public comment periods of significant
interest to many GNSO Councilors and participants.

 

Whereas, ICANN's typical comment periods are already difficult for many
members of the ICANN community, particularly those that must consult with
members of their Constituency and/or member organization(s).

 

RESOLVED:

 

The GNSO Council strongly urges ICANN Staff to extend all public comment
periods which would otherwise end during an ICANN meeting, for seven days.
