The ALAC supported the current version of the ICANN Bylaws Section 18.7(a) and 18.7(b), but understands that it has now proven to be difficult to implement.
The ALAC agrees that the proposed change preserves the intent of the original Fundamental Bylaw and supports the change.
Subject to any new information being brought to the ALAC’s attention, the current intention is that the ALAC will support this Fundamental Bylaw change when it is presented to the Empowered Community.

I would support the amendment.
The current Bylaws was trying to ensure that the review not be done PURELY by ccNSO members, but included those (a shrinking number!) who do not choose to be affiliated with the ccNSO. Apparently implementation is not easy and I think the wording proposed will ensure openess without the constraints of having to get a volunteer who meets a variety of qualifications and willing to devote the time from a limited subset of ccTLDs.

I believe that the ALAC SHOULD comment and say that based on our current understanding, when this proposed Bylaw is proposed to the Empowered Community, the ALAC will support it.
This allows us to change our position if new information comes to light, but makes it clear that we do support the change. Although such a comment is not required under the Bylaws, it is important that we state our position at this time.
