Dear CPWG Members, Following the call for At-Large Community volunteers to help review documents under the Fourth Proceeding for Proposed Language for Draft Sections of Next Round AGB <https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/fourth-proceeding-for-pro...>, a team of reviewers was assembled. The team needed time to review and was unable to meet the original target of 26 Feb for presenting a recommendation. The review team has now completed its first round substantive review of the documents, and on behalf of the team members, I would like to share our recommendation - which is that *a comment of the ALAC is warranted for this public comment*, and for the reasons set out in *Review of 4th proceeding for the proposed language for draft sections of the AGB presentation deck <https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/99713612/20250303v1%20-%20Next%20Round_SubPro%20AGB%204th%20PC%20to%20CPWG.pdf?version=2&modificationDate=1741141861849&cacheVersion=1&api=v2>* . (About) thirty minutes have been allocated during the *ICANN82: At-Large Hot Topics (Policy/Ops) session* <https://sched.co/1vpV6> for us to present and discuss our recommendation with the community, and next steps, so please join us then. Kind regards from this Review Team, Cheryl Langdon-Orr, Seth Adjei Gyimah, Eunice Perez Coello, Mwangala Edward Muma, Avri Doria, and Justine Chew On Sat, 15 Feb 2025 at 09:00, Andrew Chen via CPWG <cpwg@icann.org> wrote:
Dear CPWG Members,
On behalf of the CPWG co-chairs, we are seeking At-Large Community volunteers to consider the *Fourth Proceeding for Proposed Language for Draft Sections of Next Round AGB <https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/fourth-proceeding-for-proposed-language-for-draft-sections-of-next-round-agb-14-02-2025>* recently 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.
As this public comment will close on 02 April 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 –CPWG call on 26 February 2025
And if needed,
- *Penholder(s)*: First Draft Statement presentation and discussion – At-Large Policy Session on 08 March 2025 at ICANN82 - *Community*: Comment on Draft Statement – 09 March 2025 – 24 March 2025 - *Penholder(s)*: Final Draft Statement presentation – CPWG call on 26 March 2025 - *ALAC*: Vote on Final Statement – 27 March 2025 – 01 April 2025 - *Staff*: Submission of ALAC Statement – 02 April 2025
If you are interested in volunteering to be a reviewer and/or penholder, please volunteer during the upcoming CPWG call on 19 February 2025 or by reach out to At-Large Staff (staff@atlarge.icann.org), copying the CPWG co-chairs, Olivier Crépin-Leblond (ocl@gih.com) and Avri Doria ( avri@doria.org) by Tuesday, 18 February 2025 *at 23:59 UTC*.
