I was asked to draft the comment for the ALAC's response to the Public Comment on the Fundamental Bylaw Change (https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=111384218). The Public Comment closes this Friday at 23:59 UTC. (about 50 hours from now) =================================== The ALAC supported the current version of the ICANN Bylaws Section 18.7(a) and 18.7(b), but understands that it has now proven to be difficult to implement. The ALAC agrees that the proposed change preserves the intent of the original Fundamental Bylaw and supports the change. Subject to any new information being brought to the ALAC's attention, the current intention is that the ALAC will support this Fundamental Bylaw change when it is present to the Empowered Community.
