All,

At the last CPWG Call on 15 Jan, the review team for the Third Proceeding for Proposed Language for Draft Sections of Next Round AGB had very briefly presented 5 points which could form an ALAC Comment for this public comment proceeding.

It is our recommendation that the 5 points (found in summary on slide #3) be developed further into a first draft ALAC Comment and presented subsequently for CPWG comment.

In order to take the recommended step, and given that we did not have time to do the same during the 15 Jan call, we are now seeking input for support and/or additional suggestions to our 5 recommended points - which touch on 3 topics of (1) TLD Types, (2) Security and Stability and (3) Community Input and Dispute Resolution.

Please let us have your input by Monday, 20 Jan at 23:59 UTC, to allow the review team (who have also agreed to be penholders for the comment) to prepare the first draft of an ALAC Comment in time for consideration at the next CPWG Call on 22 Jan.

For avoidance of doubt, the review team shall take no forthcoming input or non-significant objection as a sign of support for us to proceed with drafting an ALAC Comment as mentioned. We would be happy to take questions regarding our recommendations as well, in reply to this thread.

Kind regards,

Avri Doria, Nthabiseng Pule and Justine Chew
