Dear CPWG Members,

On behalf of the CPWG co-chairs, we are seeking At-Large Community volunteers to consider the Root Zone Label Generation Rules Version 6 (RZ-LGR-6) recently posted for public comment by ICANN org. If you are interested in volunteering to be a reviewer and/or penholder, please reach out to the CPWG Co-Chairs, Avri Doria (avri@doria.org) and Olivier Crépin-Leblond (ocl@gih.com) copying At-Large Staff (staff@atlarge.icann.org), by 02 July 2025 at 23:59 UTC or verbally volunteer at an upcoming CPWG meeting. Below is a tentative schedule for CPWG consideration of this public comment.

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 proceeding.

As this public comment proceeding will close on 29 July 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 09 July 2025

And if needed,

Penholder(s): First Draft Statement presentation and discussion - CPWG call on 16 July 2025

· Community: Comment on Draft Statement – 17 July 2025 – 22 July 2025

Penholder(s): Final Draft Statement presentation – CPWG call on 23 July 2025
ALAC: Vote on Final Statement – 24 July 2025 – 28 July 2025
Staff: Submission of ALAC Statement – 29 July 2025

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

Thank you.

Kind regards,

At-Large Staff
