Hi Devan, Thanks for this. I have only 2 comments:- 1. At page 4:

Justine Chew, ALAC Liaison, shared that she has no problems with Preamble 6 and suggested using the tree hyperlinks to show the three different versions of the motion document.

I know I said "Preamble 6" clause that's what I call it, but it now appears to me that, "Whereas Clause 6" would be a more recognizable phrase. Further, I believe some clarity would be useful in referring to "the motion document". So, my proposed amendments would be: *Justine Chew, ALAC Liaison*, shared that she has no problems with Preamble Whereas Clause 6 and suggested using the three hyperlinks in Whereas Clause 7, Whereas Clause 8 and Resolved Clause 1 in the motion to show reflect the three different versions of the Clarifying Statement, from draft, amended redline, to final, motion document in order to address.*Jeffrey Neuman, GNSO Liaison to the GAC*'s point about needing to preserve the history of this topic. 2. At page 8

*Susan Payne, IPC*, explained that it might exclude willing participants to make participation in SubPro Working Group a requirement, and explained that it is a requirement to read all of the SubPro documentation including the Initial Report and Final Report. Susan Payne, IPC, also suggested inviting constituencies or stakeholder groups to suggest someone join the small team instead of their councilor.

I think the word "previous" is missing from the first line; perhaps it should be "....make previous participation in SubPro Working Group ...."? I will, however, happily defer to Susan on this. Thanks, Justine On Thu, 31 Aug 2023 at 03:14, Devan Reed via council <council@gnso.icann.org> wrote:

Thank you Devan: I think (unless others have a different recollection) my intervention in the closed generics discussion: Kurt Pritz, RySG, commented that this niche issue has taken up hundreds of hours of community time rather than on discussions about Web 3.0, UN discussions on internet governance, or internet fragmentation. Kurt Pritz, RySG, also commented that the SubPro Final Report was unsure of the status quo regarding Closed Generics, and noted that contradicting the Final Report is inappropraite (sic). Could be, Kurt Pritz, RySG, commented that this niche issue has taken up hundreds of hours of community time rather than on discussions about Web 3.0, UN discussions on internet governance, or internet fragmentation. Kurt Pritz, RySG, also commented that the proposed letter, as written, inappropriately changed the SubPro Final Report recommendations, which left the issue on whether to delegate Closed Generics to the Board. Kurt cited the ICANN staff letter to the Facilitated Discussion team that indicated if the Facilitated discussion did not result in a framework, the issue needed to be decided by the Board. If others have a different or clearer recollection, I welcome comments.
