Dear Justine and all,
Following the review of the Public Comment proceeding on the Standard Bylaws Amendment – Transition Article on Specific Reviews, I have proposed the text below for consideration. This input focuses on the timing of the Specific Reviews (particularly the CCT Review) and emphasizes the need for a data governance and metrics framework to enable evidence-based evaluation of the Next Round outcomes.
Proposed Text:
The ALAC and At-Large Community emphasize that the proposed timing for the Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice (CCT) Review under s.27(c)(iv) must be considered in the broader context of Internet stability, trust, and accountability. We recommend that ICANN org explicitly reference the potential implications of review sequencing on end-user interests, particularly regarding the timely identification and mitigation of risks that may arise between review cycles. Furthermore, it is essential that a framework for data governance and metrics be established prior to the Next Round of gTLD delegations. This framework should ensure that all relevant and necessary datasets are available to support evidence-based evaluation of the Next Round outcomes, enabling the next CCT Review to make fully informed, transparent, and actionable recommendations. By adopting this approach, ICANN can strengthen predictability, enhance community confidence, and ensure that review outcomes meaningfully serve the global Internet end-user community.
Thank you

I agree with Olivier on this. I was wondering the same thing after I read the statement. I will not be on either Wednesday or Thursdays calls because of the Jewish holidays and will be off email Tuesday evening through Thursday evening because of the holiday
Best,

Dear Justine,
thank you for sharing this draft.
Do community members in At-Large have the same concern than me when it comes to the very concept of creating a "transition article", which points to the ability for ICANN to re-define the goalposts on the fly? If so, how can this concern be expressed in the Statement? I am not saying it is a red line, but it is a matter of concern in an organisation that is supposed to show good governance.
In relation to the "Proposed s.27(b)(iii) - Extension of the Pause Period by SOAC Majority", what is the rationale for allowing such a process that includes all 7 existing SO/ACs when tasks relating to Bylaw amendments are defined in the Bylaws as requiring action from the Empowered Community whereas according to Annex D, Section 1.4(a) and (b) require in:
iii) The Approval Action relates to an Articles Amendment and is (A) supported by three or more Decisional Participants (including the Articles Amendment PDP Decisional Participant if the Board Notice included a PDP Articles Statement) and (B) not objected to by more than one Decisional Participant.
This is different to an SO/AC Majority and I do not understand why the Board is not following the Bylaws that relate to such decisions.Perhaps could you please shed the light on this?
Kindest regards,
Olivier
