[nc-review] RE: [council] Press release

[Theresa Swinehart <Theresa.Swinehart@wcom.com>]

Philip, and NC,

Thank you for all your work in getting this announcement out. The schedule
provided in this announcement requires some adjustments to the DNSO Review
schedule sent out in the e-mail of December 4, 2000 (the resending of the
DNSO review questionnaire). The December 4 e-mail set the following
timeline:

"The timeline is as follows. The NC Review Task Force must receive comments
by January 10, 2001. PLEASE NOTE, while this extension of the DNSO review is
necessary due to limited responses received, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL
EXTENSION. The NC Task Force will then have 1 week to prepare the report
based on response to forward to the ICANN Board. The report will be
forwarded to the NC on the 17th, for discussion and approval at the NC call
on January 24th. Subsequent to NC approval it will be sent to the ICANN
board, where it will be posted for public comment."

In order to accommodate the NC decision and announcement in the message
below, here are the changes to the NC Task Force review schedule for the
preparations of the report to be submitted to the NC before its January 24th
call:

"The NC Review Task Force will receive comments by January 15th (per press
release of December 21 2000, and schedule announced of Working Group's
completed work product). The NC Task force will provide the report to the NC
for review on January 19th (the NC task force will have 4 days to prepare
the report instead of 1 week); and the NC will receive the report 5 days
prior to it's NC call on January 24th. We realize that this puts much
pressure on the NC task force and the NC with regards to preparation and
review. However, in order to have the report ready for the January NC call,
this tightening of the schedule to accommodate the input from the working
group is necessary."

Please note that all constituencies, and the GA, have received (or should
have received from their respective constituency representatives) the DNSO
questionnaire during the initial sending and the resending, and are free to
comment whether directly to the NC Review Task Force, or via the Working
Group. For those that have already submitted comments in the initial
sending, those comments will of course be incorporated.

Best wishes to all for respective Holidays and New Years.

Theresa
