Hello all,

there is an advance notice in "upcoming Public Comment Proceedings" section which should have been updated with the information from https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/upcoming-proceedings

In the past, we have also had the ability for staff in charge of a public comment to arrange a short 15 minute introduction/summary to a topic if there was a need for it. I believe these options stand.

Kindest regards,

Olivier

We’ve made an attempt at that, in the past. It can be difficult to now when something is going to go for public comment. Obviously, the ideal is that we have a volunteer participating in the PDP who has been educating us on the issues along the way so that we’re not starting from scratch, when the request for comment goes out.

Subject: [CPWG] Re: Issue with CPWG handling of comments

Hi,

Good points, We really should have been educated before we ever get to the comment. 

Not sure how we fit it all in, but worth thinking about. In some sense if we are following the PDPs, than by the time the PDP ends and is prepping the final report, we should be in learning mode. Figuring out how to schedule that is hard.  It also may mean lining up review teams earlier, before the review is posted.

thanks

avri

Thank you, Alan, for your observations. I find your recommendation very helpful in improving how we structure our presentations and analyses within the CPWG. I agree that, whenever possible, having a clearer distinction between background explanation and the formulation of our proposed comments can support greater clarity and make our final positions more actionable for ICANN.

At the same time, I also recognize that depending on the type of Public Comment, some consultations naturally require more technical context in order to appropriately assess the elements being requested. Still, your suggestion is very valuable for strengthening our methodological consistency, and I will definitely keep it in mind for future drafting efforts.

Thank you again for your contribution and for encouraging us to continually improve our process.

I see a pattern with how we are handling things that is leading to the lack of clarity in proposed statements and in fact the inability to proceed with some comments.

Specifically, I see a very significant blurring of the need to provide a tutorial on the subject matter to ensure that the CPWG understands the issues, and the formulation of the comments to be presented.

Going forward, I would suggest that these two "sections" of the analysis be more CLEARLY
 delineated in what is being presented. This would allow actual comments being made to be clear and concise, and thus actionable by the target audience.
