However, they reserved the right to go back to their groups to get their feedback. Below you will find a proposal by Chuck that was discussed during the call with respect to Recommendation Number 3 – to replace it with the text below. The proposal in response to the comments received is to make the review mandatory AND to address the protections in a more general fashion as opposed to calling out specifically the IOC or the RCRC.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='color:red'>Recommendation 3: Protection must be reviewed after the first round and that review should include consideration of changing the language to general requirements rather than naming specific organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='color:red'>In its proposal, the GAC has recommended that protections for the IOC and RCRC should not just apply during the first round of new gTLDs but should be a permanent protection for all subsequent rounds. The drafting team recognizes that permanently granting protection to the IOC and RCRC may have policy implications that require more work and consultation so that protections may be reviewed.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>As the proposer of the motion, I asked the DT to go back to their groups to see whether these changes should be viewed as friendly or whether the changing of the recommendation would likely need further review, and thus delay. If the response is that the groups would support this as being friendly, then if proposed during the Council meeting I would accept. If, however, the group feels like this would need further comment and input, and therefore delay the motion, I would not accept as friendly.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Please feel free to comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><br>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:6.0pt;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Jeffrey J.
