<div>I don't want to add to the specifics of the .ORG/ICANN event, but I believe At-Large should remain vigilant against unaccountable and untransparent policy processes. <div><br /></div>
<div>I was on a zoom call this week where Roger McNamee used the phrase "the hood ornaments of public participation". He was referring to organizations like IETF, W3C, etc, not ICANN specifically, but if not careful, ICANN At-Large can turn into a "hood ornament of public participation". It's a valid concern.</div>
