I fully endorse the idea of developing a statement. We can post the statement on the wiki and allow for people to comment. I am conscious of Tina Dam's statement at the last Public Meeting in Costa Rica. Any assertions should be categorically backed up.

Personally, I would limit any comment of ALAC's to 1) Demand that community and IDN applications be given advanced priority as a matter of public benefit 2) Repeat our warning of the bias against developing economies evidenced by the relegation of applications requesting support 3) Note the damage to ICANN's reputation created by the choice of a selection method that can appear to be gamed
I asked for this batching business to be placed on the Ex-Com agenda, hoping for some of the arguments I see here to be aired. This thread has done a lot to cement my own feelings.
Any notion that a batching process can be 'gamed' and rational people are actually betting money on it is reason enough to reject batching as injurious to process.
I personally don't see much of a ALAC comment about this other than to gripe "what are you doing? Can't you see you're thrashing your already iffy reputation". Perhaps the statement could double down on relegation of support applicants to the back of the bus as insult to injury. But who would care?
On second thoughts, let's take a bye on this.
