Greetings all,

I have drafted up [on Google Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgdafZs4KBENsb-Kl9GO0l_Bh4gYdQd6F-ORpZPr27s/edit?usp=sharing) some comments on behalf of the NCSG regarding the Review of the At-Large community. This is a really rough draft, and I'd welcome your feedback on what arguments should be refined, what I might have missed, or what we might want to remain silent on. I'm not happy with it at the moment, but I figured it would be better to get some words down onto paper, and we can refine this together... so please take a read of the [proposed statement here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgdafZs4KBENsb-Kl9GO0l_Bh4gYdQd6F-ORpZPr27s/edit?usp=sharing), with the understanding that it's definitely a work-in-progress. And please share your thoughts, either in the document itself or on this mailing list!

Comments are due in three days, so we don't have too long to get this together unfortunately. You can [read the draft report here](https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/atlarge-review-draft-report-31jan17-en.pdf) (PDF link) if you haven't seen it already.

A friendly note to those ALAC members who read the NCSG mailing list: this statement is a work-in-progress, it has not been endorsed yet by the NCSG Policy Committee, and it will likely change between now and the time it is submitted (if it is submitted).

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline
