I think you’ve done a great job shepherding this statement and I support it. It would be inexcusable for NCSG not to be able to weigh in with comments on this. --MM From: NCSG-Discuss [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ayden Férdeline Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2017 7:22 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [DRAFT] NCSG Statement on the ALAC Review I didn't realise I wrote to the NCSG-Discuss list earlier. What is with my emailing today? (Well a mobile device...) Thanks for these comments, Stefi, and for reading the blog post. For now my priority is to continue editing the Statement, revising it to accommodate some very legitimate points which have been made, and then coming back to the PC list to see who is comfortable endorsing it. I would hope an endorsement was forthcoming but I know that outcome is not a forgone conclusion, and that is understandable (if disappointing).

I have read and enjoyed your blog post. I have not read the report in question, and I feel a have very little ground to move any objection--so I feel also uncomfortable at supporting it unless 2/3 of the PC members approve. Does it make sense? Anyhow thanks for your great great work! Stefania ps and good luck with fixing laptop!! ________________________________________ Da: NCSG-Discuss <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> per conto di Ayden Férdeline <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Inviato: giovedì 23 marzo 2017 13.12.43 A: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Oggetto: Re: [DRAFT] NCSG Statement on the ALAC Review Hi, We need to get something out by tomorrow, as that is the deadline. I am currently laptopless with my MacBook getting its battery replaced today, so I'm stuck making edits through Google Docs on my iPhone :/ That said, I'll be working on a second draft today and refining a few of the points, as I'm not happy with the document as it stands. I have published a blog post on the Report itself which basically sums up where I stand on the Review: http://www.internetgovernance.org/2017/03/23/re-thinking-icanns-at-large-community/ I hope this is useful.

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).
