Dear OFB Members, On behalf of the OFB co-chairs, we are seeking volunteers to consider the PC “Functional Model for Root Server System Governance<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/functional-model-for-root-server-system-governance-11-08-2025>” recently posted for public comment by ICANN org. 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. If you are interested in volunteering to be a reviewer and/or penholder, please reach out to OFB Co-chairs, Claire Craig and Bukola Oronti and copy At-Large Staff (staff@atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>), by Friday August 22 at 23:59 UTC Thank you very much! Silvia Silvia Vivanco Senior Manager, At-Large Regional Affairs Website: atlarge.icann.org<http://atlarge.icann.org/> [signature_3833959413]
