[NCSG-PC] Fwd: Re: Fwd: [DRAFT] NCSG Statement on the ALAC Review

[Ayden Férdeline]

The statement is still a work in progress, and is not complete. I will continue working on it tonight, and encourage others to share feedback on how they believe it should be edited so they are comfortable with it.

Whether or not the PC endorses it is a discussion to be had tomorrow, once it is in a more complete stage. Certainly I would hope an endorsement was forthcoming, but if it isn't, I also understand that is a possible outcome.

If people would like to have a substantive discussion on the comments, it would actually make it a lot easier to write so please feel free to do so... :-)

That said, if someone does not wish to endorse the comments, it would be helpful to know specifically what within the text they do not support.

Yes, these comments have been written quickly and there has not been much time for discussion, but we do not have a documented process for seeking the PC's endorsement and I have been on the PC for fewer than 3 months. Until such time as there is a process, all I can do is propose text in the hopes that others will jump in and offer constructive thoughts on a different direction to be taken, if applicable.

Hi all

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.

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.

Greetings all,

I have drafted up [on Google Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgdafZs4KBENsb-Kl9GO0l_Bh4gYdQd6F-ORpZPr27s/edit?usp=sharing) 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](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgdafZs4KBENsb-Kl9GO0l_Bh4gYdQd6F-ORpZPr27s/edit?usp=sharing), 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!

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](https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/atlarge-review-draft-report-31jan17-en.pdf) (PDF link) if you haven't seen it already.

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).

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline
