Recently Submitted ALAC Statements
Sylvia summarized the recently submitted ALAC Statements:
- ALAC Statement Regarding the Current Situation in Egypt
- ALAC Statement on the Accountability and Transparency Review Team Final Recommendations
- ALAC Statement on the Interim Report of the Geographic Regions Review Working Group
- At-Large FY12 Budget Proposal
Sylvia: There was a lot of input from LACRALO on the Geographic Regions statement and the FY12 Budget Proposals.
Carlos Aguirre summarized the current situation of the Joint At-Large/GNSO Working Group for new gTLD Applicant Support (JAS). The JAS WG is trying to find ways to support new gTLD applicants who do not have the means necessary to apply. It is based on Resolution 20 of the Board adopted in Nairobi. The GNSO has recently decided to go for a different JAS charter than the one endorsed by the ALAC.
IPv6 Transition
It was noted that there recently was a meeting held in Miami to celebrate the last dispatch of IPv4 addresses being given to the RIRs.
Staff noted that a community briefing call with an introduction to IPv6 will take place later this month.
Update on LACRALO Representative Elections in 2011
Andres: We hoped to be able to modify the Bylaws in time for this election but this has not happended. Right now, we do not have a term limit. We would need to adopt the bylaws first.
LACRALO List Translation
Dev: Andres, Staff and myself have been on the list for a couple of days already but there were some technical issues. The testing is ongoing and the intention is to have three lists at the end: an EN only list, a ES only list and a list for languages in their original languages. We will continue testing the list in the coming days.
Board/GAC Consultation on New gTLDS
Vanda: One of the main points at the moment is country names. The GAC and the Board are discussing issues with regards to country denominations in second level domains under new gTLDs such as e.g. argentina.newgtld
It is also being discussed whether IPv6 will be directly included in the allocation of new gTLDs. It is suggested that new gTLDs need to employ IPv6 so that the IPv4 stock can be maintained for providers with older technology.
Vanda: I seem not to be subscribed to some of the mailing lists.
AI: Vanda will send the Staff an email with the email address she would like to use and the mailing lists to which she would like be subscribed.
Review Input from Carribbean and Latin American ALSes to Work Team C SWOT Analysis
Sylvia: We have received a lot of input and incorportated them in to one document available at:https://docs.google.com/document/d/12sTqGKwHCItRZvhd5saGFoZ7WWeqs0deavcNFQ5ocAM/edit?hl=en&authkey=CIHLiu0C#
AI: Sylvia will forward the regional input to the SWOT Analysis to WT C.
Next ICANN Meeting
Carlos: The Amman meeting has been canceled and it looks like the meeting will now be in Singapore.
There was a discussion on whether a statement should be submitted to ICANN to ask about the reasons behind moving the meeting away from Amman.
The meeting was then adjourned.
