Dear CPWG Members,

On behalf of the CPWG co-chairs, we are seeking At-Large Community volunteers to consider the Name Collision IPv6 Research Study posted for public comment by ICANN org.

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 22 December 2025, 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 November 2025
Community: Comment on Draft Statement – 26 November 2025 – 8 December 2025
Penholder(s): Final Draft Statement presentation – CPWG call on 10 December 2025
ALAC: Vote on Final Statement – 15 December 2025 – 18 December 2025
Staff: Submission of ALAC Statement – 19 December 2025

If you are interested in volunteering to be a reviewer and/or penholder, please reach out to the CPWG co-chairs Avri Doria (avri@doria.org) and Olivier Crepin-Leblond (ocl@gih.com), copying At-Large Staff (staff@atlarge.icann.org), by Wednesday, 19 November 2025 at 18:00 UTC. We thank Claire Craig, Gloria Amofah, Greg Shatan, Natalie Tercova, and Pari Esfandiari who have already volunteered.

Your participation is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to your contributions!

Thank you.

Kind regards,

At-Large Staff
