Dear Daniel,_______________________________________________
for the record (and for what it's worth), I agree. We have to be vigilant about complacency that brings potential trouble.
Kindest regards,

Dear Justine, OCL and All,
The discussions are thoughtful so far. From the perspective of ICANN At-Large and the global end-user community, a few points merit emphasis:
While we recognise that the proposed Transition Article seeks to provide a narrowly scoped and time-bound solution to the current review challenges, it is important to acknowledge the broader implications for accountability and community oversight. Measures framed as “temporary” or “exceptional” can, over time, subtly recalibrate expectations and authority, potentially influencing future processes in ways not originally intended.
ICANN At-Large represents the voice of individual Internet users worldwide. From this vantage, our concern lies not only in resolving immediate procedural gaps but also in ensuring that mechanisms adopted reinforce stability, trust, and transparency within ICANN’s processes. Clear articulation that such measures are indeed exceptional—and the conditions under which they apply—helps safeguard the broader principles of participatory governance and protects against incremental erosion of community input.
In short, ICANN At-Large supports carefully scoped and time-bound interventions, but urges vigilance to ensure that temporary measures do not become implicit precedents. Strengthening the link between procedural fixes and accountability safeguards aligns the solution with the expectations and confidence of the global end-user community.
Best regards,Daniel
