<div>I think it also important to give credit to Stephanie, whose extensive edits to the comment are the only reason why it gained sufficient traction to even be submitted.</div>

<br />> Thank you for the kind words, Stephanie, and for the helpful edits. A new draft of the proposed statement is now available. It would be appreciated if everyone could please review it, and propose alternative text if and where
applicable. This is a very different document than you may have reviewed a few hours ago.

<br />> ANd I forgot to say, many thanks to Ayden for slogging away on this!! the report was a beast to get through, and pulling this together a hard task. Don't worry I think we can still get a shorter perhaps comment if a few of
us can pull together and put in some comments. Dont everybody disappear tomorrow on a Friday break....

<br />> I just spent some time commenting. I would suggest that we keep working on them, try to develop a more positive tone that indicates our shared experience.....but we are not going to get people to sign up for drafting comments
if we reject them. Folks are always going to be too busy to engage in a fulsome discussion.
<br />>
<br />> Happy to hear about a better process....but in the meantime, better to fix this and boil it down to a couple of pages we can agree on than to give up, in my view....

<br />> Hi all
<br />>
<br />> I am conscious of the impending deadline for these comments (tomorrow). I recognize that Ayden has put time and thought into proposing comments for NCSG's consideration. This said, we have had no substantive discussion of
these comments and their merit on the list or in the PC, nor have we had, realistically, sufficient time to do so. Because of this I do not feel that I, as a member of the PC, can endorse these comments for NCSG.
<br />>
<br />> The NCSG PC should have a better process in place for ensuring that there is time to do so in the future and we will, hopefully, be rectifying this promptly.

<br />> Subject: [DRAFT] NCSG Statement on the ALAC Review
<br />> Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2017 10:52:33 -0400
<br />> From: Ayden Férdeline [<<a href="mailto:icann@FERDELINE.COM">icann@FERDELINE.COM</a>>](<a href="mailto:icann@FERDELINE.COM">mailto:icann@FERDELINE.COM</a>)
<br />> Reply-To: Ayden Férdeline [<<a href="mailto:icann@ferdeline.com">icann@ferdeline.com</a>>](<a href="mailto:icann@ferdeline.com">mailto:icann@ferdeline.com</a>)
<br />> To: <a href="mailto:NCSG-DISCUSS@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU">NCSG-DISCUSS@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU</a>
<br />>
<br />> Greetings all,
<br />>
<br />> I have drafted up [on Google Docs](<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgdafZs4KBENsb-Kl9GO0l_Bh4gYdQd6F-ORpZPr27s/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgdafZs4KBENsb-Kl9GO0l_Bh4gYdQd6F-ORpZPr27s/edit?usp=sharing</a>)
some comments on behalf of the NCSG regarding the Review of the At-Large community. This is a really rough draft, and I'd welcome your feedback on what arguments should be refined, what I might have missed, or what we might want
to remain silent on. I'm not happy with it at the moment, but I figured it would be better to get some words down onto paper, and we can refine this together... so please take a read of the [proposed statement here](<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgdafZs4KBENsb-Kl9GO0l_Bh4gYdQd6F-ORpZPr27s/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgdafZs4KBENsb-Kl9GO0l_Bh4gYdQd6F-ORpZPr27s/edit?usp=sharing</a>),
with the understanding that it's definitely a work-in-progress. And please share your thoughts, either in the document itself or on this mailing list!
<br />>
<br />> Comments are due in three days, so we don't have too long to get this together unfortunately. You can [read the draft report here](<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/atlarge-review-draft-report-31jan17-en.pdf">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/atlarge-review-draft-report-31jan17-en.pdf</a>)
(PDF link) if you haven't seen it already.
<br />>
<br />> A friendly note to those ALAC members who read the NCSG mailing list: this statement is a work-in-progress, it has not been endorsed yet by the NCSG Policy Committee, and it will likely change between now and the time it is
submitted (if it is submitted).
<br />>
<br />> Best wishes,
<br />>
