[Ncsg-discuss] [PUBLIC COMMENT] Call for volunteers for four drafts

[Pedro de Perdigão Lana]

Hi everyone,

Since we do not have a PC chair at this moment, I am taking the liberty to
share with you all four public comments that are open and seem at least
somewhat important to the non-commercial mission:


   1.

   Name: Draft LAC Regional Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2026–2030
   Deadline for input: 24 November 2025 at 23:59 UTC.

   https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/draft-lac-regional-strategic-plan-for-fiscal-years-20262030-13-10-2025
   This proceeding invites feedback on the draft regional strategic plan
   for the Latin America & Caribbean (LAC) region covering FY 2026-2030. It
   seeks community input on key regional priorities, how ICANN org can support
   outreach, capacity building, and stakeholder participation in the region
   *(We don't have much time to write this one, so we would have to do it
   very quickly as to allow the Policy Committee to have at least 24h to
   review)*
   2.

   Name: String Similarity Evaluation Data for New gTLD Program: Next Round
   Deadline for input: 4 December 2025 at 23:59 UTC.
   Link:
   https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/string-similarity-evaluation-data-for-new-gtld-program-next-round-16-10-2025
   This proceeding publishes the string similarity evaluation data and
   invites feedback as part of preparing for the next round of the new generic
   top-level domains (gTLD) program. The aim is to help prevent user confusion
   by evaluating visually or scriptually similar domain strings and obtaining
   community input on the proposed similar code-points and their similarity
   degrees.
   3.

   Name: Registration Data Request Service (RDRS) Policy Alignment Analysis
   Deadline for input: 9 December 2025 at 23:59 UTC.
   Link:
   https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/registration-data-request-service-rdrs-policy-alignment-analysis-30-10-2025
   This proceeding invites input on a policy-alignment analysis regarding
   the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS). The analysis addresses gaps
   and alignment issues between RDRS and other disclosure/access systems (such
   as the System for Standardised Access/Disclosure). The aim is to gather
   community feedback on next steps and possible policy adjustments.
   4.

   Name: Timeline for Urgent Requests for Lawful Disclosure of Non-public
   Registration Data
   Deadline for input: 15 December 2025 at 23:59 UTC.
   Link:
   https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/timeline-for-urgent-requests-for-lawful-disclosure-of-nonpublic-registration-data-22-10-2025
   This proceeding seeks community input on proposed language and timelines
   for handling urgent lawful disclosure requests for non-public registration
   data (for example, when there are imminent threats to life, serious
   infrastructure, or child exploitation). It aims to define a faster,
   dedicated timeline for such urgent disclosure requests, which is currently
   missing in policy.

*Let me know if we have volunteers who wish to lead and/or assist in
writing contributions for those Public Comments, and I will create the
Google Docs with our template to comment. Since I won't be able to lead one
of those this time, I will wait to have at least one volunteer to create
the shared doc.*

Please note that each of those deadlines, with the exception of the first,
is actually 72 hours before the listed date, to allow the NCSG Policy
Committee to review the text.

Cordially,

*Pedro de Perdigão Lana*
