Dear Justine, Thank you for your preliminary feedback. 1. *Regarding the ASO-GAC Webinar on the RIR Governance Document* I note that the document is being reviewed by the OFBWG, and that Kevin's presentation has provided valuable insights. I will ensure to share this feedback with GAC Leadership and note that no specific intervention from the At-Large side is needed during the session, whereas individual ALAC members are encouraged to take part. Kindly let me know if sharing this invitation with the broader At-Large community mgiht be useful. 2. *On the GAC-ALAC Bilateral Meeting at ICANN83, *please let me clarify that the "Public Interest Frameworks and Advisory Roles" refers to the evolving relationship and advisory roles between various ICANN stakeholders (including GAC, ALAC, and others) in promoting public interest frameworks in ICANN's decision-making processes. As per Kristina's message, the aim here would be "*to explore how ALAC and GAC can jointly influence outreach and evaluation, ensuring that the public interest is consistently considered across these key areas. Strengthening cooperation between GAC and ALAC in articulating and upholding the public interest in ICANN’s policy development processes*" was also mentioned. Let me know if any further background would be useful, and I'm glad to get back to her with more queries. I hope this clears things up, and I look forward to your thoughts.

Dear Joanna,
Some preliminary feedback for your consideration:-
*1. Regarding the ASO-GAC Webinar on the RIR Governance Document *
Sure, ALAC Members are encouraged to attend but do note that this document is already being considered by the OFBWG and which has had the benefit of an extensive presentation by ASO Council Member Kevin Blumberg during the 24 April 2025 OFBWG call. There is also a small team constituted to develop the ALAC's comment for the public comment proceeding that you pointed out.
*2. GAC-ALAC Bilateral Meeting at ICANN83 – Draft Agenda and Speaker Suggestions*
Could you please elaborate on what "Public Interest Frameworks and Advisory Roles" is intended to capture?
Many thanks, Justine

Dear Colleagues,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to share several updates and to seek your input on key upcoming ALAC engagement opportunities with the GAC: ------------------------------
*1. Invitation to ASO-GAC Webinar on the RIR Governance Document (13 May, 13:00 UTC)* Marco Hogewoning, GAC VC, has extended an invitation to ALAC to participate in a *joint ASO-GAC webinar* on the proposed *Governance Document for the Recognition, Maintenance, and Derecognition of RIRs* (a revision of ICP-2). The session will take place on *Tuesday, 13 May at 13:00 UTC* for 90 minutes.
The webinar will provide an overview of the draft, which is currently open for public comment until *27 May 2025*: 🔗 ICANN Public Comment Page <https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/governance-document-for-t...> 🔗 ICP-2 Background <https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/>
Given the relevance of this topic to ALAC, I strongly encourage participation. Please also consider whether ALAC should offer a brief intervention during the session—perhaps by *Jonathan Zuck*, ALAC Chair, should he be willing and available. ------------------------------
*2. GAC-ALAC Bilateral Meeting at ICANN83 – Draft Agenda and Speaker Suggestions* Kristina has proposed the following agenda for our bilateral session, with two suggested ALAC speakers:
-
*Applicant Support Program (ASP) – Equity in the Next gTLD Round [recommended]* *Suggested Speaker: Avri Doria* -
*DNS Abuse Mitigation – Policy, Enforcement, and End User Protection* -
*Universal Acceptance (UA) and the Multilingual Internet* -
*Domain Name Registration Data – RDRS, Accuracy, and Access* -
*Digital Inclusion and Capacity Building* -
*Public Interest Frameworks and Advisory Roles * *[recommended]* *Suggested Speaker: Justine Chew*
Your comments and additional suggestions are welcome. Please kindly note that given our usual, limited timing for these sessions, we are likely to cover no more than two topics of shared interest. My recommendations, as your liaison to the GAC, are noted above. ------------------------------
*3. May Regulatory Updates Briefing – Call for Input* Together with our GAC colleagues, we are ready to welcome your suggestions for the topic to be covered during our May Regulatory Updates Briefing <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/180715827/GA...> session, the last one before our Prague meeting. Zeina has originally proposed a focus on *infrastructure governance in the Middle East* as one of the topics for us to consider during these sessions, whereas we await further ideas from the Governmental Engagement team. I would appreciate any additional suggestions from the ALAC regarding policy topics or regional insights that should be reflected in this session. ------------------------------
*Kindly provide your feedback on the above items by Monday, 5 May.*
Thank you for your attention to this matter and lasting support.
