Feedback on ALAC's Rejection action petition
Dear all, In preparation of tomorrow’s call, please find included the comments received to date: 1. From the Council list dated 2 June (Jordan Carter): I don’t think anything has changed about this situation since we last looked at it. Given we instigated this deferral and review process, I hope we don’t support this petition. And I say that as someone who is, in principle, sympathetic to ALAC’s argument. Our focus should be on making sure that the Review of Reviews completes quickly and effectively, in my view. 1. Jordan’s statement supported by Charles Noir and Chris Disspain (Council list 2 June) 1. Email to ccNSO petitions address dated 5 June 2026 from Roelof Meijer, SIDN: nl/SIDN’s view is that the ccNSO should NOT support the ALAC Petition. ICANNorg and the community agreed to postpone reviews to reduce the high workload of these on both community volunteers and org employees while simultaneously executing a review of reviews with the ultimate goal of implementing a more efficient and effective review policy. The postponement of reviews renders ICANN noncompliant with its bylaws, which potentially introduces a legal vulnerability. I understand this fix. Should the bylaw amendment ever be misused in the future, as ALAC fears, the empowered community has ample measures to rectify that
