Seems wise to add this remark - not that it would make some people change their mind, but it will at least remain on the record.

The statement is a merger of the one previously distributed and the re-write that Jonathan did. There is one addition in the last paragraph pointing out that this is not the case of being unhappy because "we did not get our way", but a real concern with the viability of the proposal. The "not get your way" has been stated a number of times and came up again during the GNSO Council meeting today, and needs to be explicitly refuted. ========================= Addendum to the ALAC Minority Statement to the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report The Members of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) appreciate the opportunity to submit this Addendum to the statement that was submitted on 29 July 2020. The ALAC, along with its EPDP team, has now had the opportunity to review and discuss the statements submitted by the BC/IPC, GAC and SSAC, along with those submitted by the other EPDP Member groups. Although the ALAC and the BC, IPC, GAC and the SSAC each took a somewhat different approach to addressing our positions in respect to the report, the ALAC is in general agreement with the positions taken in the GAC, SSAC and BC/IPC statements. In particular, the ALAC appreciates the in-depth and insightful analysis provided by the GAC, SSAC and BC/IPC. Dissenting on the outcomes of what has been over a year of very challenging debate is not something that the ALAC has taken lightly. To be clear, this is not a situation as has been implied that we are dissenting because ?we have not gotten our way?. Proceeding without addressing the issues that we believe are critical to the success of an SSAD will result in a system that will not meet needs of the users of the SSAD, with little opportunity to significantly correct those problems going forward. We hope that the GNSO and if applicable the Board will take this into consideration as this process moves forward. _______________________________________________ CPWG mailing list CPWG@icann.org<mailto:CPWG@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cpwg _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos).
