The IOC/RC Drafting Team has put their recommendations out for Public Comment. The initial comment period ends on October 20th (the Saturday immediately after the Toronto ICANN meeting) and the reply period on November 9th. <https://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/ioc-rcrc-recommendations-28sep12-en.htm>https://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/ioc-rcrc-recommendations-28sep12-en.htm The ALAC, with some reluctance, supported the statement at its 25 September meeting. The summary of the ALAC position is included within the report. We could let that statement speak for itself, or add further thoughts in the official comment process. Certainly it is an opportunity for those who felt the compromise position should be rejected (likely resulting in the GNSO making no recommendation and leaving it to the Board to decide the outcome as it implied in its recent motion) to publicly voice their position.
