Re:  the review was done before walking through
recommendations as opposed to after that.

Sorry, but a 90-second synopsis of the public comments
by a member of ICANN Staff at the GNSO Council meeting
does not suffice to do justice to the many valid
points raised by the broader internet community.

My assessment is that no matter what input was
received the GNSO Council would have continued on its
set path because it has become totally schedule-bound.
 

All of your activities are designed to conclude in
conjunction with ICANN plenary sessions.  It matters
little that your work is not complete, that you have
deliberately overlooked the lack of mechanisms to deal
with abusive registrations (pointed out to you by the
Business Constituency), and that little-to-no-time was
spent on allocation methodologies (what experts did
the Council ever interview on the topic of auctions?).

The only thing that the Council seems hell-bent on
accomplishing is wrapping up a report by a set date
whether finished or not.

The entire point of public comments is to allow for
the possibility of corrections/adjustments etc. 
Instead, the GNSO Council decided to charge ahead with
a "public-be-damned" attitude and offered up a shoddy
report (that rarely offers a rationale for its
recommendations) as a fait accompli.
