<p>Of course. Forgive my shorthand. We’re looking for input from those who have interest in the matter, particularly those knowledgeable on the topic, and who are willing to contribute their opinions. It would, of course, be helpful if those that are providing
their opinions represented some subset of those who would be impacted in one way or another, e.g., ICANN's SOs and ACs, but that doesn’t mean that the input has to come from those folks.</p>
