Hi Maureen, Olivier, Adding Carlos here. We’d be happy to jump on a call to explain. Evin, would you be able to help coordinate? From: Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard@gmail.com> Date: Wednesday, August 18, 2021 at 12:45 PM To: Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond <ocl@gih.com> Cc: Evin Erdogdu <evin.erdogdu@icann.org>, "cpwg@icann.org" <cpwg@icann.org>, Jana Juginovic <jana.juginovic@icann.org>, Mike Takahashi <Mike.Takahashi@icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [CPWG] INFO/ALL - New ICANN Public Comment feature on 31 August Hi Olivier I had a look through their guidelines, and unless I missed it, I couldn't find anywhere where it differentiates a group submission such as from At-Large from an individual comment which is everyone's right to make. Is there a separate submission form for constituencies like At-Large to be able to make our normal group submission. I am including Jana and Mike into this conversation to see how we can overcome any possible confusion, when minority views on a particular statement are submitted as comments from individuals from At-Large but which could seem highly contradictory.

The reason why I asked that we take this up on our CPWG mailing list, is that I have concerns that the new public comment system, including its explanation material, risk confusing end users commenting in the ALAC/At-Large Process: the explanation material refers to individuals filing individual comments themselves. This is of course very different from taking part in the bottom-up At-Large Statement drafting process. I don't think this has been made clear enough. As a result, with individuals being asked to create their own log-ins and being able to comment individually, I wonder how many people will continue using the At-Large process for public comment drafting? Will someone need an account to take part in the ALAC drafting process? What is the difference between the WIKI account that an At-Large commenter will take part in, and the ICANN account for public comment that will be rolled out? How do we avoid public confusion?
