Public Comment is a vital part of our multistakeholder model. It provides a mechanism for stakeholders to have their opinions and recommendations formally and publicly documented. It is an opportunity for the ICANN community to effect change and improve policies and operations.
Please find the attached public comment on behalf of the GNSO Council which notes, "...the Council does not support any Bylaws change in substantially the form being proposed and likely would be instructed by its constituent SGs and Cs to reject any formal vote, should this be put to the Empowered Community."
