<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am going through to remove the mentions of the public comments in the executive summary. I have questions about two paragraphs that mention the public comments and whether we\u2019re sure we want to remove them. The first is X005:<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="colorfullist-accent21"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:9.0pt">"X005</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span><span lang="EN-CA">The ICG sought public comment on the combined proposal and the final version presented here
reflects comments received. The ICG received 157 comments on the combined proposal from a wide variety of stakeholders, including individuals, operational communities, supporting organizations and advisory committees, businesses and trade associations, civil
society groups, governments, and others from all regions of the world."</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It strikes me that this is useful in the executive summary for those who may not read the full proposal, so they know that the public had an opportunity to comment.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other is X025, which is part of our assessment of whether the proposal has broad community support:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="executivesummarybodyparanumber"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:9.0pt">"X025</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span><span lang="EN-CA">The majority of commenters who submitted comments during the public comment period
support the proposal. These commenters included individuals, operational communities, supporting organizations and advisory committees within the ICANN community, businesses and trade associations, civil society organizations, governments, and others from
across all regions of the world. Thus community support for the combined proposal is broad both in diversity of interests and geography of origin. Furthermore, the consensus of the ICG in support of the proposal provides a powerful demonstration of the breadth
of community support."</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this case the public comments are a core basis of our conclusion here, so I was wondering whether we could leave this in the executive summary.<o:p></o:p></p>
