I echo your hope that the noncommercial community will become more active "on all policy fronts" in the near future, and from a NCUC perspective hope to have an organisational and communication proposal out for comment in the next week that I hope will help our Constituency do just that.

Some of the White Paper I find a bit simplistic ( blanket statements concerning public opinion with no readily evident empirical basis, generalisation's about ICANN's remit which do not conform in entirety to the AoC) and a few of the recommendations, mostly ones that give ALAC greater institutional powers,  I strongly oppose. There are also issues concerning ICANN's remit and place in the evolving internet (from greater oversight of tertiary domains to affirmative obligations under international law to prevent dns based cyber conflict) that also need to be considered and evaluated on a community wide basis.

Rather, and appropriately, it imperatively calls for community wide consideration of the White Paper and discussion of the issues raised therein, and some not, in an effort to strengthen ICANN's structure and status in the changing digital environment. Perfect and proper. Thanks for piecing this together during such a hectic period and, as mentioned, please add my name in support of your submission.

>> As the deadline for public comments on the At Large R3 White Paper is today, I thought I'd put together a short general comment that I can submit either on behalf of NCSG members who wish to sign on as well, or if not, just as a personal comment. At the moment there is no other submission; nonetheless (and perhaps even more as a result) I know that many of us would like to see NCSG, NPOC and NCUC become more active on all policy fronts, including submitting public comments on just about all issues of interest to our members.
