Dear all,

Ok -- after performing the changes on the Google drive, I have now
"frozen" this text by transferring it to our WIKI on:
https://community.icann.org/x/uYEoAg

This has been added to the ALAC Wrap-Up Pt.1 agenda:
https://community.icann.org/x/TxAQAg

If this statement is acceptable to the ALAC, I will ask for a
ratification vote to take place.
Please let me know ASAP if there are still further amendments to make.

Kindest regards,

Olivier

I agree with ending the statement with  "make no substantive changes".

Also, let's add "and only" and  "so far" as follows: 

"ICANN's first and only choices so far of service providers." 

Thank you very much!  This is a strong statement.  Who from At-Large
will present it with me during the forum - Olivier? 

Best, 

Robin

Quick question: have any of you reached out to the individuals who were

involved with this in the STI, whether BC or even contracted parties?
If 

the URS was such a carefully crafted community-wide consensus, would 

those other communities wish to support this statement? 

Kindest regards, 

Olivier

Two comments, one trivial and the other less-so. 

In the middle of para 2, community-wide should be hyphenated. 

Perhaps more controversial, I would fee better with the last sentence 

saying "... make no substantive changes ...". 

I can accept the statement with that change, but would feel better 

with it.

We would like to call the community's attention to the current status 

of the Uniform Rapid Suspension system, or URS. 

As a method to protect brand owners and Internet users against clear 

and obvious instances of domain abuse, the URS was a carefully 

crafted community wide consensus. It involved many ICANN 

constituencies and hard-won compromises that we can both support and 

defend. 

Recently, attempts have been made to re-open URS policy because of 

cost-related pushback from ICANN's first choices of service 

providers. Our communities are concerned that important protections 

to both users and brand owners could be negatively impacted in the 

name of cost cutting. We ask ICANN to make every effort necessary to 

seek providers capable of implementing the URS as it now exists, and 

demand it make no changes to the URS without the same level of 

cross-community support that led to the current consensus.
