As an advisory committee of ICANN, the ALAC submits Statements on Public Comment and advises on policy matters related to the interest of Internet users worldwide. Not just limited to the 15 ALAC members, members from the wider At-Large community are welcome to draft a Statement on behalf of the ALAC.

If you are interested in drafting an ALAC Statement on this Public Comment, kindly contact staff@atlarge.icann.org. At-Large Staff will follow up and help you understand the procedure.

Additionally, the wiki workspace for developing a potential ALAC Statement is here: https://community.icann.org/x/FInDAw. All pertinent resources for this public comment can also be found there.
