<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">On his complaints about this not being a &#8220;consensus of the global multi-stakeholder community. Indeed, as I have pointed out previously, CWG-Stewardship is
 an ICANN group, constituted under ICANN rules, so it cannot be considered to be representative of the global multi-stakeholder community,&#8221; he does seem to miss the point.&nbsp; The process was based in ICANN through the chartering organisations and that is hardly
 surprising given the role of ICANN (and indeed the invitation from NTIA).&nbsp; However, the process was not closed, and was based around developing consensus &#8211; no votes and no sustained opposition on compromises that allowed the CWG to move forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">And that is probably the key feature supporting your third paragraph:&nbsp; his views had not really gained significant traction &#8211; it was one man&#8217;s voice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">One specific issue that probably needs to be addressed is his criticism on jurisdiction.&nbsp; This was discussed. &nbsp;There was general agreement that there was not
 enough support for proposing an immediate change of jurisdiction and not enough information on what would be the relevant merits of other jurisdictions and the criteria required from a given jurisdiction.&nbsp; It was also quite clearly
<i>not</i> an issue that needed to be resolved to enable transition (these discussions have been going on for quite a few years within ICANN), but something that could be addressed in subsequent work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 out for public comment. Thus requiring a &#8220;final&#8221; document to be put out for public comment is an unreasonable requirement for a process intended to terminate.<o:p></o:p></p>

 the ICG assesses whether the comments are to be investigated by the operational community itself, and if we draw that conclusion we make the OC aware of the comment and ask whether the OC has any input. So we would appreciate input you may have no later than
