Thanks, Rafik. I would be pleased to take the lead drafting our comments on the initial report of the At-Large Review. I think we need to be careful here, people in glass houses and stones and all that... I am tempted to suggest we limit the focus of our comments only to the inaccurate comparisons drawn between the NCUC, NCSG, and ALAC. We should also put forward our opposition to an advisory committee taking on more influence in the policy sphere, particularly with their obscene levels of staff support, as that is a direct threat to our legitimacy and the legitimacy of the GNSO. I don't think we should comment on the rest of the report; surely At-Large is best placed to produce a response which addresses some of the methodological issues within it. And if not, that is to their detriment.

Hi everyone,

From the Public Comments page, I picked the 3 consultations that seem relevant for us and we had some discussion about. this is kind of planning for us to cover public comments:

  1.  GNSO Initial Report on the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms Policy Development Process, https://www.icann.org/public-comments/igo-ingo , deadline 1 Mar 2017
  2.  At-Large Review: Draft Report,  https://www.icann.org/public-comments/atlarge-review-draft-report-2017-02-01-en, deadline 24 Mar 2017
  3.  Recommendations to Improve ICANN's Transparency, https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-acct-draft-recs-2017-02-21-en , deadline 10 Apr 2017

the first consultation is quite close, less than 1 week and the topic is important for us. We have an urgent need to get a volunteer to draft a quick comment. I am wondering if Kathy can jump in here. In any case, as PC we will have to act quickly if we get a statement to review.

for at-large review, I would like to volunteer Ayden since he followed the discussion closely and read the report. @Ayden can you please start drafting and share the document with the wider NCSG list for consultation?

for the last one, related to ICANN accountability work, it will be great to have someone involved in the CCWG to take the lead here. Maybe Matthew?

while I am suggesting names among those in PC List, we can try to find other members take the lead or help.

in term of planning for future public comments, we can follow upcoming consultations here https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/upcoming-2012-02-25-en to get an idea about what is coming (dates are of course tentative).

there is also this separate page about "operational" public comments https://www.icann.org/public-comments-operational , something to follow more closely.

Best,

Rafik
