[CPWG] Alternative Statement on .XXX Registry Renewal

[Evan Leibovitch]

As we get closer to the submission deadline, Carlton and I have reviewed
the draft of the proposed ALAC response to the .XXX agreement renewal.

In response to the .XXX registry wishing to simplify its contract
obligations and bring them inline with those of other gTLDs, ALAC's comment
counter-proposes five *new* requirements, including a third-party auditor
for provisions not demanded of others. It is outrageous and unabashedly
punitive in nature.

I consider both the results and rationale of the draft ALAC comment to be
as far from a true end-user perspective as could possibly be. So
irreconcilable are our own views with it that we have crafted our own
response for submission rather than try to word-tune the existing one.

As a courtesy and to inform the next GPWG meeting, a draft of our response
is available here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oDRSATHcjC-hDW9KrOheBLo497Y63DuZtHM4n0Of66s/edit?usp=sharing>.
We welcome comments and co-signatories.
