[council] Withdrawing the Motion to Adopt the Final Issue Report on a PDP to Review all RPMs in all gTLDs

[Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As you may have guessed from the subject line of this email, I am formally 
withdrawing the motion I submitted on January 11th to adopt the final issues 
report on the RPMs Review PDP.

There are several reasons why I believe this to be a desirable course of 
action. If you recall, when I submitted this motion, I hadn’t actually read the 
final issue report yet. Since reading it, I’ve been considering a withdrawal, 
but needed to wait to consult with the NCSG first. I did this by reaching out 
to members of the NCSG immediately following the submission of the motion as 
well as discussing the report and draft charter during yesterday's monthly NCSG 
policy call.

First, I agree with Phil’s earlier email; that loading tomorrow’s Council call 
with the GNSO’s letter to the CCWG, and three motions on the PPSAI PDP WG’s 
final report, new gTLDs subsequent rounds PDP WG charter and the PDP to review 
all RPMs for all gTLDs is a bit much. More importantly, since reading the final 
issues report, I believe that the report and draft charter need some work done 
on them before they should be considered by the Council for a formal vote.

Since I have withdrawn the motion, I suggest we include this report as a 
discussion item for tomorrow’s call instead of a vote. I would also be very 
grateful to see a staff report on the public comment period following 
publication of the preliminary issue report for this PDP and/or the public 
comment tool used to review the comments submitted. I’m not sure if these have 
been previously circulated, or not. If they have, then I missed them and I 
apologise. If they haven’t, it would be very helpful to take a look at those, 
preferably before tomorrow’s call.

Thanks.

Amr
