We continue to develop NCSG-wide comments on the CCWG proposal. But it is also possible for individual members to do so.

Just wanted to call to your attention the comments of James Gannon, an active member of NCSG, on the CCWG proposal.

http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-ccwg-accountability-03aug15/pdfy6WGvu4vOO.pdf

James prepared really thorough and well thought-out comments, and I want to emphasize how much more influence public interest groups can have if they are able to prepare and file cogent comments like this. If there is a point that most or all of us agree on – such as the voting allocations in the CCWG proposal – we will have more impact if multiple voices are heard making the same point.

The Heritage Foundation also prepared its own comments, and again our joint comments will make similar and reinforcing – but not identical – points about the role of GAC.

Looking forward to many other comments from NCSG member organizations and individuals in this process!
