[CPWG] INFO/ALL - New ICANN Public Comment feature on 31 August

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Dear Evin,

thanks for this. The reason why I asked that we take this up on our CPWG 
mailing list, is that I have concerns that the new public comment 
system, including its explanation material, risk confusing end users 
commenting in the ALAC/At-Large Process: the explanation material refers 
to individuals filing individual comments themselves. This is of course 
very different from taking part in the bottom-up At-Large Statement 
drafting process. I don't think this has been made clear enough. As a 
result, with individuals being asked to create their own log-ins and 
being able to comment individually, I wonder how many people will 
continue using the At-Large process for public comment drafting? Will 
someone need an account to take part in the ALAC drafting process? What 
is the difference between the WIKI account that an At-Large commenter 
will take part in, and the ICANN account for public comment that will be 
rolled out?
How do we avoid public confusion?

Kindest regards,

Olivier
