This, then, is the schedule (it was buried down in the note, so I 
thought I would bring it up to the top):

Given that the NC is required to post its documents for public review,
and that ICANN requires 30 days public comment before the Melbourne
meeting, this schedule really isn't leaving much time at all for the
people drafting the reports.  For example, YJ will give the Task Force a
bunch of stuff on the 15th, plus comments will come in from other
sources, and the TF will have to integrate all those into a report in
*4* days.  And the ICANN staff, it appears, has essentially zero time to
prepare a report before the Melbourne meeting. 

It is perhaps worth noting that the ICANN public comment period will 
undoubtedly include setting up a forum on the ICANN public comment 
forum, a threaded, web-based system.
