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 19 MAY 2025, the proposed schedule for the above-mentioned tasks is as follows: * Call for volunteers – 11 April- 15 April * 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 – OFB call 24 April 2025 And if needed, * Penholder(s): First Draft Statement presentation and discussion – OFB call on May 1 2025 * Community: Comment on Draft Statement – 1 May 2025 – 6 May 2025 * Penholder(s): Final Draft Statement presentation – OFB call on May 8 2025 * ALAC: Vote on Final Statement – 09 May 2025 – 16 May 2025 * Staff: Submission of ALAC Statement – 19 May 2025 If you are interested in volunteering to be a reviewer, please volunteer by sending an email to the OFB co-chairs, Claire Craig(claireccraig@gmail.com<mailto:claireccraig@gmail.com>) and Bukola Oronti (Bukola Oronti bukkiepharworley@gmail.com<mailto:bukkiepharworley@gmail.com> ) and cc the At-Large Staff (staff@atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>), by Tuesday, 15 April at 23:59 UTC.
