> 1. I don't understand the three operational community business "Our members have been keen and engaged participants in the working groups, drafting teams and proposal development processes in all three operational communities." I wondered what you meant by operational communities. and this link <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship/community">https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship/community</a> says that operational communities are domain names, numbering resources and protocol parameters. If that is the case, have we been developing processes in all three operational communities or am I mistaken and don't understand operational communities ? <br>

> 2. You have three operational communities again in the last sentence. I suggest removing it. <br>
><br>
> 3. I find this sentence unnecessary : "We note the approval of the proposed governance reforms by the independent reviewers commissioned by the NTIA". Why are we noting this ? we could also say it's been approved by some aliens in Mars who were independent too! <br>

<p dir="ltr">I think it is there to highlight about the process followed by NTIA, kind of "you see even independent reviewers agree with us" </p>

<p dir="ltr">> 4."We note the approval of the proposed governance reforms". also in the same sentence we have governance reform. If you don't get rid of that sentence you might want to change it to accountability reforms. <br>
