Your insights and/or expertise on the subject matter for public comment would be helpful for: * Firstly, reviewing and identifying any need for the ALAC to submit a comment, and secondly, where such need arises, presenting issues - in the form of bullet points - for discussion at one or more Working Group calls. * If the Working Group subsequently reaches consensus on the need for an ALAC comment, volunteering as a penholder to craft a concise thoughtful response (i.e. an ALAC statement) to this public comment proceeding. As this public comment proceeding will close on 13 April 2026, the proposed schedule for the above-mentioned tasks is as follows: * Reviewer(s): Establish if an ALAC comment is needed. * Reviewer(s): Initial Bullet Point(s) presentation and rationale for discussion in order to establish working group consensus And if needed, * Penholder(s): First Draft Statement shared with the CPWG on 25 March 2026 * Community: Comment on Draft Statement – 25 March 2026 – 30 March 2026 * Penholder(s): Final Draft Statement presentation – CPWG call on 1 April 2026 * ALAC: Vote on Final Statement – 6 April 2026 – 10 April 2026 * Staff: Submission of ALAC Statement – 13 April 2026 If you are interested in volunteering to be a reviewer and/or penholder, please reach out to the CPWG co-chairs Avri Doria (avri(a)doria.org<mailto:avri@doria.org>) and Olivier Crepin-Leblond (ocl(a)gih.com<mailto:ocl@gih.com>), copying At-Large Staff (staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>), by Tuesday, 3 March 2026 at 15:00 UTC.
