Thus requiring a final document to be put out for public comment is an unreasonable requirement for a process intended to terminate.</div><div style="widows: 1;"><br></div><div style="widows: 1;">Regarding his claim about the global multistakeholder community, our understanding of the CWGs charter is that the group is open to any interested participant.</div><div><span style="widows: 1;"><br></span></div><div><span style="widows: 1;">Regarding his claim about his specific comments on the proposal, we note that the CWG proposal states on p. 51 that "The final proposal has received the consensus support of the CWG-Stewardship with no objections or minority statements recorded for Chartering Organization consideration. We note</span><span style="widows: 1;"> that rationales were given and CWG consensus positions explained for each comment received during the public comment period that was not included in the proposal (including Richards).</span></div><div><span style="widows: 1;"><br></span></div><div><span style="widows: 1;">--</span></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Alissa</div><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px;
