You know what is the glaring presumption here?  That most people really want to or even like to read these tomes!   

First, there is abundant evidence that most persons engaged in this business simply don't read documents, whether they are long or short.  I defy successful contradiction.

Breaking news.  And I hate to break this to all y'all but from long experience in corporate, the evidence of 'senior' people reading high-level summaries more than the long document is precisely NEVER!  

Years ago one fella told me that my writing was too literate, I needed to write at an 8th grade level for senior corporate officers. That was waaay before Donald Trump. Never mind he remained as dense as thick mud.

Pffft.

"The Board also encourages the ALAC to continue to lead by example in producing materials that ensure effective and equal participation by all stakeholders, and would encourage the ALAC to include executive summaries on statements, advisories, and other materials issued by the ALAC."

 

How noble. Will the Board sufficiently resource the ALAC to produce such materials and additional content?

 

What the Board wants -- anywhere in ICANN, they're able to get if it's sufficiently resourced.
