ICANN is now sending out templates for constituency input. It used to be the case that a constituency could express its own concerns in its own constituency statement. But this new proposed format leaves significant opportunity to manage policy debate by asking some things, but not other things. And of course the way in which the questions are worded in the template can encourage a specific perspective that the constituency may not share. So this new template for constituency input is an example in which the GNSO can be more easily "managed" by ICANN and working group chairs...... concerning.<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Robin<br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px;
