<br>
I had shared the attached presentation slides outlining Board Comments on CCWG 3rd Draft Proposal during the At-Large IANA Issues Working Group Call on Tue UTC2030. Please review the full Board comments as there is more information and detail there (also attached
together with cover letter from Steve Crocker on behalf of the Board). The concerns, rationale and suggestions in the full Board Comments document are important to understand. Please note that the Board is open to alternative solutions on how to address
the concerns.<br>
