RE: [council] Proposed Amendments to JAS Motion

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure thing Rafik.  I will do my best to explain the changes.  All of the 
changes center around the fact that we want to send this report to the Board 
after the meeting this Thursday and not delay their consideration of the 
contents.  However, due to the fact that we just got the report, we cannot as a 
council state that we have digested all of its contents nor have we had enough 
time as a community to state that we agree with all of the recommendations.  In 
addition, we want to reserve the right as a community and as a council to 
provide comments on any implementation of the recommendations developed by 
staff.

We also ask that staff begin developing an implementation plan (just changing 
the words from “begin working on an implementation of the recommendations” to 
“develop an implementation plan following the JAS WG recommendations, subject 
to comments received from the GNSO community”).  This highlights the fact that 
comments may not be comments from the Council, but can be from SOs, 
constituencies, etc.  IN fact, you have already seen some comments and 
questions from the Registries this past weekend.

That’s pretty much it.  We want the staff and board to get this ASAP (and 
realize the ALAC will likely forward to the board anyway), but want to reserve 
all of our rights to provide comment and input on this report and any 
implementation.

I hope that helps.

Hello Jeff,

thank you for your comments and amendments, they looks friendly and didn't hear 
any objection in the WG.
but I would like to have more explanations and reasons about those amendments 
in whereas and resolved parts and their implications on the report. that will 
help me to have better understanding.

Best,

Rafik

All,

Please find enclosed proposed Amendments to the JAS motion from the gTLD 
Registries Stakeholder Group.  All of the changes are in red in the word 
document and should not be controversial and I hope will be taken as friendly.

First and foremost, we want to recognize the hard work of the JAS Working Group 
and make sure that the work product gets to the ICANN staff and board for their 
consideration without implying that we, the GNSO Council or community, 
necessarily endorse all of the contents therein because of the little time we 
have had to review.  That said, we would like to see the ICANN staff begin 
working on an implementation plan of the recommendations, publish that plan out 
for public comment, and do so in time to  discuss in Dakar and launch the new 
gTLD Application Process in January.

I hope everyone finds these amendments in the spirit in which they were 
intended – appreciative of the hard work of JAS, supportive of providing 
support to applicants from developing economies and wanting the application 
period to begin on schedule in January.

Thanks.
