Thanks for your comments, but Leadership has to balance ALL of the comments that we get which means that very few proposals from any groups are adopted as is. That is one of the purposes of the multi-stakeholder model. The compromise proposal that we believe
can get the most support is involving the community in the development of the selection/evaluation criteria as well as in the legal terms that relate to the CPE process. But ICANN as an organization needs to have some flexibility to act and look out for the
corporation as a whole. It is ICANN Org that will have to manage their vendor, pay their vendor, etc.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you at least support the above? We understand you want the community to have more rights, but do you at least support these rights? We are trying to get to the end here. Giving the community involvement in the selection/evaluation
criteria development is much better than the status quo, correct?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Good evening:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I have a few comments:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>1. The leadership proposal involves a significant dilution of the ALAC comments, which I do not approve.<br>
The demand for community involvement in the selection of CPE Providers stems from the very unsatisfactory outcome of the 2012 process. In my view, there was no consensus in the PDP supporting of the status quo.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>More generally, it is implausible that a single Provider could deal with this competently and equitably world-wide.<br>
<br>
2. Thus the text should refer throughout to 'ProviderS' and 'candidateS'. <o:p></o:p></p>
