This issue is not critical in the end, it is more a question of
respect for commentators outside of the communities (they may not
have understood the comment process or where best to address their
comment) and process transparency than a game changer and we have
spent beyond too many cycles on it. This will be my last post on the
matter.<br>
<br>
The issue is solely this:<br>
<br>
When we get a comment related to an OC proposal we will always
determine whether to act upon it or not. If we decide to take an
action related to it, whether in the form we received it or as the
basis for an other question, the OCs must respond to our request,
because a failure to respond will be part of our evaluation of the
sufficiency of their process.<br>
<br>
The question remains with what happens to the other comments we
receive related to an OC proposal. We can treat them as irrelevant
or dead issues and do nothing. Or we can can forward them to the OC
as the group they were likely intended to reach. I strongly favor
the latter because it leads to transparency as espouses a "no wrong
door" approach - wherever you comment it will be routed to the
correct group. That group will have the need to determine whether
and how to respond. One driving force for me in this process is
that what results be a representation of consensus and commentators
throughout the process have their concerns addressed where
possible. The more concerns never reaching their target or never
addressed, the greater likelihood that those comments may be
resubmitted to NTIA as failures of the process to address community
concerns.<br>
<br>
The solution I proposed a the meeting, which had a favorable
discussion at the time it was presented, was as follows (order
shifted to clarify concerns of this impacting our discretion plus
elimination of the courtesy acknowledgement of receipt):<br>
<br>
1. We review comments to determine if they raise issues on which
the ICG should take action. Where they do, we raise the issues as
we see fit requesting the OC to reply us.<br>
<br>
2. In order to promote transparency of the process and to assure
that opportunities to enhance understanding or to build community
consensus are not squandered, we froward or make available to
communities (excluding spam) the comments we receive that are
relevant to their proposal to address as they feel appropriate.<br>
<br>
That's it for me on this issue, I can accept whatever the group
decides.<br>

<div>First, as Alissa writes, I do not understand why we spend
more time on this.</div>

<div>Secondly, what I wrote was that both ICG and OC can if they
so wish respond to the comments coming in. But they can also
both ignore it.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>We, ICG, can be as many people wrote, be inspired by the
comments and use comments just like any kind of input as the
basis for questions to an OC.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>But neither OC not ICG has a mandatory obligation to respond
to every comment.</div>
