Alan,
To clarify
The Trust preference is one Community Agreement executed by all the communities. And it would be best it seems to me if all were commenting on these docs at the same time, rather than in separately in parallel, or serially.
What I was suggesting was that we include on one list the representatives from the RIR, IETF, and Names communities to review the Community Agreement and License documents.
As for a timeline, based on an assumption that the documents should be ready to execute on 30 September, the Trust was working from this timeline:
7 July Negotiation commences with all parties
8 August Trust agreements reached with all parties All Agreements published for community comments for 30 days (At a minimum for IETF community)
12 September Community Comments Period Ends IETF community recommends modifications/no changes Other communities recommend modifications/no changes Trust considers recommendations and makes changes/no changes Trust publishes response to comments and republishes Agreements
30 September Execution of all Trust Agreements Trust with ICANN - IPR Transfer Trust with PTI - License trademarks and domain use Trust with Operating Communities (RIRs, Names, IETF)
Does that Timeline make sense?
As to making the documents “public” at this time. We had thought that working through the details with the Community Reps and reaching acceptability among us, then going “public” in our respective communities for feedback, then getting the reps back together to discuss the docs would work for a process.
Does that process make sense?

Did you get this email below from me?
I’ve not heard back from anyone and I’m getting concerned nothing is happening.
Yes, thanks, Ray. I got the documents. I have just sent a reminder to the RIRs’ legal team to review them.
There is actually quite a tight timeline to make progress to reach a point where the agreements can be executed on 30 September. For the Trust that includes a lengthy Community comment period, and I’m reasonably sure the operational communities also have a community review process.
Yes, we will also want a community review period.
May we make the current drafts public now?
The Trust is seeking feedback on these documents from the RIRs, Names and IETF communities.

I think we settled on a single community agreement during a meeting in Helsinki in June.
I agree that commenting in parallel makes sense.
