Thanks, Roberto, 

Despite the fact that the consensus is a challenge to reach, Kindly note that the ALAC has several times reached consensus in their discussion. Furthermore, I have seen in the voting process of ALSes that discussions and deliberations are followed. 

I think the discussion would be "What is consensus?", How do you reach Consensus? What is the difference between Rough Consensus and Full Consensus? 

Clearly, there are points where the discussion has to get towards consensus though in reality, it is very difficult to get full consensus since there are many divergent views and opinions regarding certain discussions and topics. 

The ALAC has submitted Advice to the board - this is also known as the ALAC Advice and also we have an ALAC representative to the board who is constantly updating the community and also providing feedback to the board on various At-Large issues. 

Thanks

Dear all,
At today's session on "End User Participation in ICANN PDPs and their Role within the ICANN ecosystem” we had different opinions on how to deal with the situation in which At-Large does not reach a consensus position.
>From the discussion on the chat it emerged that there are different views. I also believe that this impacts also on the role of ALAC as Advisory Committee. I wonder whether we need to separate the participation on the PDP from the advice (to the Board).
Maybe we should have in a future CPWG session a discussion on this topic.
Cheers,
Roberto
