The proposed process is divided into five stages, made up of the following steps:

  • Stage 1: Policy is available for comment (see Figure D-3, Stage 1)
    • The ALAC notifies At-Large that the policy for Public Comment is available in English, Spanish and French.   
  • Stage 2: Within 10 calendar days after the policy is available (see Figure D-3, Stage 2)
    • The ALAC decide whether or not to submit a comment;
    • The ALAC decides if, at this stage, it needs an extension of the deadline and, if so, requests one;
    • The ALAC assigns a standing or ad hoc Working Group (WG) to create a first draft of the comment; and
    • The ALAC decides if a community briefing call is needed and, if so, requests one. 
  • Stage 3: At least 9 calendar days before the deadline (see Figure D-4, Stage 3):  
    • The assigned WG informs the ALAC whether or not an extension of the deadline is needed at this stage (if considered needed, the ALAC can request the extension);
    • The WG makes its draft ALAC comment available for review and comments by At-Large; and
    • Incorporating relevant discussions and comments, the WG produces the final ALAC comment.
  • Stage 4: At least 7 calendar days before the deadline (see Figure D-5, Stage 4):
    • The ALAC starts an ALAC ratification vote on the final comment.
  • Stage 5: At least 1 calendar day before the deadline (see Figure D-5, Stage 5):

 

If the final comment is ratified, the ALAC requests the Policy Staff in support of the ALAC, to transmit the comment to the ICANN Staff person responsible for the Public Comment period.
