The language has already been posted to our site and sent out on social media so I think we need to leave it as-is \u2014 both formulations give us some flexibility I think.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Alissa</div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 8, 2015, at 12:52 PM, WUKnoben <<a href="mailto:wolf-ulrich.knoben@t-online.de" class="">wolf-ulrich.knoben@t-online.de</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

<div class="">I agree that the public comment period is formally going to be closed that
date and people should take it into consideration. However it may be possible
for the team to address comments coming in short after the deadline - which in
many cases happened already at ICANN. So I'm inclined to slightly soften the
text to be posted in the following way:</div>
<div class="">...The ICG cannot <strike class="">commit</strike> guarantee to addressing any
comments received after the deadline.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Let\u2019s discuss the status at the call tomorrow.</div>

<div class="">Subject: [Internal-cg] Late comments </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">The secretariat has received some questions about whether we will accept
late comment submissions. We will be posting this to the public comment
site:</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">"The deadline for submitting comments is September 8 at 23:59 UTC. The ICG
cannot commit to addressing any comments received after the deadline. If your
final comment is not prepared to be submitted before the deadline, we suggest
that you submit what you can before the deadline so that the ICG at least gets a
sense of the direction of your comments."</div>
