I have a different opinion. I have read the NOI and found nothing that implies that the comments should be limited to be from US citizen or entities based in the US. On the other hand, some of the questions that are asked are about aspects that will have an impact beyond the US borders. Whether the NTIA will take into account comments from overseas is a completely different story. But we should not limit ourselves in commenting because of a presumption of being ignored. Besides, to have an ALAC discussion on the topics raised will be a healthy exercise independently from the fact of reaching consensus on a single document.

However if ICANN being an organisation incorporated in the USA then believes her MS community should respond then they need to initiate a process to collect those feedback from the community and submit it as ICANN MS community response to the NTIA's call for comment, otherwise, I do not think it is appropriate for ALAC/Atlarge to respond directly to a country's call for comment.

On the (unasked) question whether the ALAC should or should not send a contribution to this, an external (non ICANN) enquiry, there is a precedent for the ALAC to send a comment to an external process: the previous NTIA NOI on IANA.https://atlarge.icann.org/advice_statements/8421 Kindest regards, Olivier On 05/06/2018 18:53, León Felipe Sánchez Ambía wrote: Dear all, I thought many of you might be interested in the Notice Of Inquiry (NOI) published by the NTIA on International Internet Policy Priorities. The NOI includes some questions in relation to the IANA transition. Most precisely it raises the question on whether the transition should be unwound and if so, how? There are also questions related to free flow of information and jurisdiction, Multistakeholder approach to internet governance, privacy and security and emerging technologies and trends. You can find the NOI in this link https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/2018/notice-inquiry-interna... I hope you find this information useful.
