Thanks Leon.<br>
<br>
On the (unasked) question whether the ALAC should or should not send
a contribution to this, an external (non ICANN) enquiry, there is a
precedent for the ALAC to send a comment to an external process: the
previous NTIA NOI on IANA.

Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I thought many of you might be interested in the Notice Of
Inquiry (NOI) published by the NTIA on International Internet
Policy Priorities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The NOI includes some questions in relation to the IANA
transition. Most precisely it raises the question on whether the
transition should be unwound and if so, how?<br>
<br>
There are also questions related to free flow of information and
jurisdiction, Multistakeholder approach to internet governance,
privacy and security and emerging technologies and trends.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can find the NOI in this link <a href="https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/2018/notice-inquiry-international-internet-policy-priorities" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/2018/notice-inquiry-international-internet-policy-priorities</a></div>
