<p>HI Erika,</p>
<p>Thanks for your comments and Anne's comments as well. Also please
note that At Large Selected Mechanism A but with a caveat. <br>
</p>
<p>ALAC believes that an independent panel, with no connection to or
control by either ICANN Org or the ICANN Board (preferably
contracted to a suitable non-profit or a set of experts in the
field of grant selection and allocation), is a CRITICAL part of
this decision and the ALAC would strongly object and withdraw its
support if that condition changes. <br>
</p>
<p>As we stated in our public comment our support for Mechanism A
hinges on the outsourcing of any selection and awarding of
applications to an independent panel. I do not know if the other
non-At Large people who selected Mechanism A had this caveat but
that was why we went with Mechanism A. I am not sure how you can
convey this in your report but would be good to do this so our
intent and support for A is clear to all<br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Judith<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Many thanks for
your work and the ICANN staff work in finalizing this
report.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">Consensus
Level and Possible Need for Minority Statement<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Given that a
total of 7 members voted for a Mechanism other than A (split
votes between B and C), I would say the appropriate level of
consensus is actually Rough Consensus. Seven Member votes
for Mechanisms B and C combined does not mean that the WG
indicated a “strong preference” for Mechanism A. This is
because those voting for Mechanisms B and C were motivated
by a concern for more independence from ICANN org in the
administrative process. In short, there were 7 votes for
Mechanism A and 7 votes for Mechanisms more independent than
A.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In addition,
one conclusion in the report will need to be considered as
requiring a Minority Statement. The text in question from
Section 4 is as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Considering
the responses from participants did not significantly change
the direction provided by the CCWG members as one
participant indicated their preference for mechanism A and
three participants indicated their preference for mechanism
B. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Adding together
the votes of the Participants to those of the Members, the
number in favor of Mechanism A is 8 and the number in favor
of Mechanism B is 7. This count demonstrates that among all
those answering the poll, there is clearly NOT a “strong
preference” in those participating for Mechanism A over
Mechanism B. So the statement above is not quite accurate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I understand
that Minority Statements are due by May 28 and I will review
this with the CSG.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
