ICANN’s Reply Cycle Falling Flat

Circular-reference comment period not eliciting more comments.

If you held a comment period regarding comment periods, then tested a fresh comment period idea called “reply cycle” on that same comment period regarding comment periods, would anybody come?

Not yet.

At the end of August ICANN opened a comment period for “Public Comments Process Enhancements”. In other words, a comment period regarding comment periods.

The comment period closed September 30 with 8 comments.

One of the ideas proffered for comment periods is to have a “reply cycle” at the end. The 15 day extension allows anyone to reply to other comments by now left.

So far no one has participated in the reply cycle “test” regarding comment periods or reply cycles in comment periods.

Go that?
