<br>
after a long process which asked you to comment on the At-Large Review,<br>
including contributions from at least 30 people across all RALOs to the<br>
Google Doc, both on the Google Doc itself, but also by sending RALO<br>
Chairs comments by email, in English, Spanish and French, it appears<br>
that we have a pretty complete RALO response to the At-Large Review.<br>
The Google DOC is now turned to '"view only".<br>
Please email me if there is anything that stands out as being out of<br>
line. Altogether, it's a pretty impressive document considering we<br>
received input from dozens of people --- and not just the usual suspects.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZLG-xM-WbyhI9LqAkS3pGZwvDjBI10h0xxYp5ChOPA/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/<wbr>document/d/1DZLG-xM-<wbr>WbyhI9LqAkS3pGZwvDjBI10h0xxYp5<wbr>ChOPA/edit?usp=sharing</a><br>
<br>
<br>
In my opinion, the process by which the input was received and the<br>
spontaneous response from ALSes is such that it is a testimony that the<br>
mixed RALO/ALS and RALO/individual user model is possible and actually<br>
works. A significant response is possible when a topic is close to the<br>
heart of our members.<br>
<br>
I have seen support for the ITEMS report elsewhere in ICANN. What has<br>
struck me as well is the outright emotional hostility shown by some of<br>
the commentators that have submitted comments to the public forum. What<br>
I have found sad is that the criticism that was wielded at At-Large was<br>
not constructive at all. Quite the contrary, it followed in the same<br>
hostile language and manner of the Review that I have neither found<br>
constructive nor helpful at all.<br>
<br>
I hope you'll recognise that the RALO response tries to be constructive.<br>
It is not as polished as the forthcoming ALAC response as by design, we<br>
kept verbatim extracts of the input received - so contributors can<br>
recognise their imprint on the document.<br>
<br>
The deadline for the comment to be submitted is tomorrow, 24 April 2017<br>
at 23:59 UTC. I cannot urge you enough to submit your own comments<br>
directly with the commenting process. Full details are on:<br>
<a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/atlarge-review-draft-report-2017-02-01-en" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/public-<wbr>comments/atlarge-review-draft-<wbr>report-2017-02-01-en</a><br>
<br>
RALO Chairs plan to get staff to submit the response (or to submit the<br>
response themselves) by the deadline tomorrow, with a note that the<br>
document is undergoing RALO ratification.<br>
<br>
In EURALO, I'd like to hear the choice how YOU want this document<br>
ratified by EURALO?<br>
<br>
1. a consensus call? So anyone objecting to any of the responses can<br>
make themselves known, including the response they object to?<br>
2. An anonymous vote on each of the responses - so any ALS can vote in<br>
support or against each of the responses<br>
3. An anonymous vote on the Statement itself - so any ALS can vote in<br>
support or against the whole Statement without detailing the responses<br>
4. Any other suggestion?<br>
<br>
Please respond as soon as possible, as if we are to conduct a vote, I'd<br>
like to keep the vote open for at least 5 working days.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond<br>
EURALO Chair<br>
