[CPWG] Final (hopefully): EDPD Statement Addendum

[Alan Greenberg]

I've posted this to the wiki 
(<https://community.icann.org/x/FQC1C>https://community.icann.org/x/FQC1C).

The statement is a merger of the one previously distributed and the 
re-write that Jonathan did. There is one addition in the last 
paragraph pointing out that this is not the case of being unhappy 
because "we did not get our way", but a real concern with the 
viability of the proposal. The "not get your way" has been stated a 
number of times and came up again during the GNSO Council meeting 
today, and needs to be explicitly refuted.

Addendum to the ALAC Minority Statement to the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report

The Members of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) appreciate the 
opportunity to submit this Addendum to the statement that was 
submitted on 29 July 2020.

The ALAC, along with its EPDP team, has now had the opportunity to 
review and discuss the statements submitted by the BC/IPC, GAC and 
SSAC, along with those submitted by the other EPDP Member groups.

Although the ALAC and the BC, IPC, GAC and the SSAC each took a 
somewhat different approach to addressing our positions in respect to 
the report, the ALAC is in general agreement with the positions taken 
in the GAC, SSAC and BC/IPC statements. In particular, the ALAC 
appreciates the in-depth and insightful analysis provided by the GAC, 
SSAC and BC/IPC.

Dissenting on the outcomes of what has been over a year of very 
challenging debate is not something that the ALAC has taken lightly. 
To be clear, this is not a situation as has been implied that we are 
dissenting because "we have not gotten our way". Proceeding without 
addressing the issues that we believe are critical to the success of 
an SSAD will result in a system that will not meet needs of the users 
of the SSAD, with little opportunity to significantly correct those 
problems going forward. We hope that the GNSO and if applicable the 
Board will take this into consideration as this process moves forward.
