I agree with keeping these items in the executive summary as that is what they are doing: summarising the activity.

Subject: [Internal-cg] Removing public comment mentions in the executive summary

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’re sure we want to remove them. The first is X005:


"X005        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."
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.

The other is X025, which is part of our assessment of whether the proposal has broad community support:

"X025        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."

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.

Thank,
Alissa
