[NCSG-PC] [IMPORTANT] Volunteers Needed for Open Public Comments

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

 Dear members,

ICANN org is seeking input on a number of open public comment proceedings.
Let me know if you'd like to volunteer on any one of them. The open public
comments are:

   1. *IANA 2030 Strategy: Draft PTI Strategic Plan covering 2025 to 2030 *
   - *Link*:
      https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/iana-2030-strategy-draft-pti-strategic-plan-covering-2025-to-2030-26-11-2024
   - *Deadline*: 25 days remaining. Closes on 29 January 2025
      - *Notes*: Pedro has noticed that in the section "3. Community
      Engagement", PTI seems to be focusing only on interacting with industry
      experts, but, if their objective is as stated ("Identify and address
      community needs for the IANA function, through enhancing existing
      relationships with the IANA customer community and improving
communication
      strategies with non-traditional stakeholders"), their focus
should include
      users who are not currently part of the ICANN ecosystem, and
this does not
      seem to be a part of the current strategy as written
   2. *Third Proceeding for Proposed Language for Draft Sections of Next
   Round AGB.*
      - *Link*:
      https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/third-proceeding-for-proposed-language-for-draft-sections-of-next-round-agb-19-12-2024
      - *Deadline*: 34 days remaining. Closes on 07 February 2025
      - *Notes: *
         - We already commented on the other proceedings, and this one,
         once again, seems to have at least a few problematic aspects.
         - However, this one is significantly larger, and it would be good
         to have not only newcomers working here, but also people who
have worked on
         similar topics in the past.
         - Some areas that require our attention are Privacy policy and the
         dispute (and objection) procedures.
      3. *Proposed Updates to the Operating Standards for Specific Reviews *
      - *Link*:
      https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-updates-to-the-operating-standards-for-specific-reviews-23-12-2024
      - *Deadline*: 37 days remaining. Closes on 10 February 2025
      - *Notes:* We submitted comments to the draft proposals back in 2019.
