Thanks for answering this question, Ergys.
Two things:
1. on the At-Large Working Group on the Public Interest, this is a
working group that's primarily for representatives of A-Large Structures
(ALSes) from the 5 Regional At-Large Organisations (RALOs). That said,
unless specified, At-Large working groups are open to everyone. Thus I
would suggest you ask the working group's Chair Wolf Ludwig (
wolf.ludwig at comunica-ch.net ) , CC'ing At-Large staff (
staff at atlarge.icann.org ) to join that working group, if you want to
take part in that working group's work.
2. On the "call for action", I note that Becky Burr mentioned that if
processes and checks and balances are followed in all aspects of our
operations, than we could say that this was in the public interest (I am
paraphrasing and would happily be corrected) - so there was no need for
a Cross Community Working Groups. Indeed --- I do not think that we need
such a formal structure, but certainly some kind of a common space,
birds of a feather or whatever space you can call to discuss these
issues ICANN-wide is, in my opinion, needed. The current Public Interest
mailing list is one such space. Perhaps do we need some kind of an
animator to get the discussion moving forward rather than a discussion
that might end up moving in circles?
Kindest regards,
Olivier

>> changes in its governance structure in light of the impending
>> IANA functions stewardship transition, it is important to carry
>> the conversation forward.

>> 1. Further understand the historical and political nuances of the
>> ‘global public interest’ in various contexts and regions
>>
>> 2. Reach a shared understanding of what the concept of public
>> interest means in the context of ICANN
>>
>> 3. Explore how public interest could be operationalized as the
>> basis for decision-making at ICANN

>> 4. Determine next steps
