[ga] Re: New TLD Evaluation Process : Specific Question to the Board

["M. Stuart Lynn" <lynn@icann.org>]

There is confusion in the question and some of the subsequent responses.

The appendices to which you refer have relevance to the evaluation 
itself not to the NTEPPTF report. The latter is not an evaluation, 
but contains recommendations to the board on how to proceed with an 
evaluation. The task force did not require access to these appendices 
or any other similar information in order to frame its 
recommendations.
