</head><body><p>Good evening:</p><p>I have a few comments:</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. </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'. </p><p>Thankyou</p><p>CW</p><blockquote type="cite">El 4 de diciembre de 2020 a las 17:35 Jeff Neuman <jeff@jjnsolutions.com> escribió: <br> <br><div class="ox-6a156b2eae-WordSection1"><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"> </p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">All, </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">This is the <u>Eighth Topical E-mail</u> on outstanding questions being “put to the list.” This covers an additional Community question stemming from the ALAC comments (Topic 34) </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Remember: We are down to the wire on this, so unless you have a VERY strong objection to these, we will put these into the document.

In addition, any terms included in the contract between ICANN Org and the CPE Provider regarding the CPE process must be subject to public comment.” </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black; background: white;"> </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black; background: white;">Please note that based on previous discussions, Leadership did not believe that involving the community in the actual selection of the CPE Provider had sufficient support or would be acceptable to ICANN Org. </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black; background: white;"> </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Please have your comments (If any) by no later than 23:59:59 UTC on Tuesday, December 8, 2020. </span></strong></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></strong></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Sincerely, </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Jeff & Cheryl </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">SubPro Co-Chairs </span></p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"> </p><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal"> </p><table class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoTableGrid" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;"><tbody><tr><td width="192" valign="bottom" style="width: 144.3pt; border: none; border-top: solid #06175F 3.0pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;"><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: black; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; padding: 0in;"><img width="178" height="81" style="width: 1.8489in; height: .8437in;" id="ox-6a156b2eae-Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image002.png@01D6CA31.802FC1B0"></span></p></td><td width="173" valign="bottom" style="width: 129.95pt; border: none; border-top: solid #06175F 3.0pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;"><p class="ox-6a156b2eae-MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #06175f;">Jeffrey J.
