  • Thread-topic: [council] Kurt Question
Hi Adrian:

Evidently, when the subject line includes the word "Kurt, " the email is 
labelled as junk. I'm not sure what that means.

Bruce is right, of course. The parallel I would draw is with the ICANN budget. 
ICANN posts a "Proposed Final Budget" prior to the June ICANN meeting. There is 
comment before and during the meeting that the Board considers. Similarly, with 
new gTLDs,  ICANN could publish a proposed final Guidebook. When proposed, the 
Board could decide to approve the Guidebook as approved, or to approve it with 
certain tweaks, or to have more extensive analysis again.

As you know, there has been comment and analysis on many, many aspects of the 
Guidebook. All the comments to date have been addressed, although not always in 
the way the commenters request. Given the diversity of interests, I think that 
is impossible. Given  the depth of analysis to date and the most recent set of 
Board resolutions, perhaps review of comments in this next version of the 
Guidebook be limited in some way to changes in the Guidebook or new topics.

What do you think?

Kurt
