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 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.

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

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

At-Large Staff
