We chose not to enter into technicalities in our official statement
because it is not our role to provide technical advice to ICANN - the
corporation has other advisory committees for that purpose.

This does not mean that "we do not have the knowledge to understand"
the topic on a technical level. Ok, I've never operated a registry,
but I have been administering Internet-connected systems for the last
eight years. Same applies to other ALAC members.
