From the chat:
Anne Aikman-Scalese: COMMENT: I dont' think the AGB is particularly "verbose". It strikes me that it will not be less "verbose" as a result of this complicated policy process and it seems pretty clear that it will take time to redraft the AGB once our policy recommendations are approved by the ICANN Board. COMMENT
Line 15, Fairwind Partners -- [comments below]
2.4.1.c.2.1:
Lines 17-20, Brand Registry Group, Business Constituency, INTA, Fairwind Partners -- Agreement
Line 21, ALAC -- Agreement Concerns -- In so far as the AGB’s primary target audience is applicants, the ALAC agrees with this preliminary recommendation. We also believe it is important to maintain a reference to historical context and that ought to be made easily available.
2.4.1.c.2.2:
Lines 23-26, Brand Registry Group, Business Constituency, INTA, Fairwind Partners -- Agreement
Line 27, ALAC -- Agreement Concerns: In so far as the AGB’s primary target audience is applicants, the ALAC agrees with this preliminary recommendation. However, we believe it is important to maintain the link between application process and policy which underpin the same.
2.4.1.c.2.3:
Lines 29-32, ALAC, Brand Registry Group, INTA, Fairwind Partners -- Agreement
Line 33, BC -- Agreement, New Idea
2.4.1.c.2.4:

2.4.1.c.2.6:
Lines 47-51, ALAC, Brand Registry Group, Business Constituency, INTA, FairWinds Partners -- Agreement (as long as it does not cause delays)
2.4.1.c.2.7:
Lines 53-56, ALAC, Brand Registry Group, Business Constituency, FairWinds Partners -- Agreement
Line 57, INTA -- Agreement Concerns: NTA agrees with this recommendation but is concerned that any agreements or terms of use are non- negotiable. The WG could explore whether there is a way for those who wish to negotiate to flag that intention.
4. Discussion of Public Comments: 2.4.2: Communications (time permitting)
2.4.2.c.1:
Lines 4-7, Brand Registry Group, Business Constituency, Neustar, FairWind Partners -- Agreement
Line 8, Valideus -- New Idea: The amount of time necessary between the final AGB being approved and the opening of the application window would depend upon possible factors such RSP pre-approval, but it should not be unduly long.
Line 9, ALAC -- New Idea: The ALAC believes that the amount of time between which the final AGB is released and the time until which applications would be finally due is a function of (1) the clarity of policies, rules and procedures for the Program, and (2) how well they are set out in the AGB and made accessible.
2.4.2.c.2:
Lines 11&12, Brand Registry Group, Business Constituency -- Agreement
Line 13, ALAC -- Agreement New Idea
