<div>Thanks, Mary-</div>

</div>
<div>The issue that the feedback tool does not actually work is not the real concern that I have here; the concern I have is that we are not being asked to offer any real feedback. </div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>We are not being asked to review the 250 new definitions of acronyms that will appear on the ICANN website. Instead we are being asked to watch a stupid 3 minute YouTube video (that could be condensed to three screenshots), and to comment on this ‘tool.’
It is a pseudo consultation at best, and I really think ICANN has wasted resources developing it. </div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>And with respect, I think the suggestion that the comment period could only be open for under a week, due to budget constraints, is ludicrous. It says a lot about how ICANN org values community feedback. </div>

website implies a shift towards greater consultation and community participation in ICANN's content strategy, but we cannot actually wield any influence by commenting here. (And not just because if you press the 'provide feedback' button, you see "The feedback
survey is temporarily unavailable.") <o:p></o:p></a>

it sounds like they have already been approved internally and are not open to community review. Are we really being asked to comment on just the glossary tool itself, and did ICANN really produce a video mockup and slide deck of something so incredibly mundane
