Thanks Kaili Actually, the link connects to the At-Large Review. However, it’s easy to find the CCRT report - it’s under policy - open for comment. I will be one of the pen holders for comment and would appreciate any and all volunteers in developing comment. Indeed, we could break the report down into sections and we could take a section or two. For those who haven’t been involved, this is a reallly good opportunity. Just let us know Holly On 2 Apr 2017, at 4:12 am, Kan Kaili <kankaili@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello, APRALO community,
The New gTLD program started a few years ago underwent its review since the beginning of last year by the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Coice Review Team (CCT-RT). Its preliminary report was published last month for public comments until 27 April (for details and document download see https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-02-02-en).
As a CCT-RT member representing ALAC and also of our APRALO, I also want to encourage everybody to actively participate in this review process, especially from our end-users perspective. This is because this New gTLD program is one of the most important policy of ICANN over the last few years and affects us, the end-users, the most.
The essence of ICANN's multi-stakeholder structure is all related parties getting together to discuss, argue and negotiate for each party's own interest. The CCT Review Team is also built this way.
Thus, please provide your comments from our end-users perspective in order to protect our own interests. Nobody else will speak for us if we do not speak out ourselves.
For this purpose, your best way of doing so is to post your opinions in the public comment space as provided by Satish in his email below. This is also the best way to support me in order to represent your interests at CCT-RT.
However, if you have any questions, or are inconvenient to post your comment for whatever reason, please feel free to contact me at my email address: kankaili@gmail.com. I will be happy to answer all of your questions and/or post your comments on your behalf.
Also, I would like to encourage everybody to participate in the two webinar sessions on Monday, 3 April at 10:00-11:30 UTC and 20:00-21:30 UTC hosted by CCT-RT (see details athttps://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-03-29-en). The webinars will be in all five UN languages and Arabic. Dial-out for this webinar will also be provided.
Thank you for your time.
Kaili Kan

Dear APRALO Community,
As you are aware, At-Large has been undergoing a review process, and the draft report has now been made available for public comments. More details are available here: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-02-02-en
As part of the public comments process, the Leadership of the Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs) have been working on collating responses of particular relevance from the perspective of RALOs and At-Large Structures (ALSes). Accordingly, issues identified as especially pertinent to RALOs and ALSes have been compiled into a Google document that is available at the following URL:
Kindly incorporate into this document any review comments that you may have that relate to specifically to RALOs/ALSes. If you do not have a Google Account, kindly add your name to the comment that you enter (if you are logged in into a Google Account, your name would be automatically captured). The comments entered here will be collated and submitted to the public comments process.
Thanks for your time,
satish
