Recently Ratified by the ALAC (since last AFRALO Monthly Meeting)

Reference Label Generation Rulesets (LGRs) for the Second Level
The ALAC addressed four areas of concern with regards to LGRs: 1) The ALAC believes that the particular registries whose practices were used (with regards to cross-script variants in the Root Zone) should be specified; 2) Missing code points that were not considered for possible variants need to be evaluated; 3) The definition of variants for SLDs needs to be substantially expanded - otherwise the level of potential confusion, and DNS Abuse, is simply too large; and 4) As something that is critical for security and the avoidance of DNS Abuse, blocking variant names should not be optional. The ALAC made a suggested revision to the text accordingly.

GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report
The At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) held several single-issue teleconferences about the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) PDP earlier in 2020 in preparation for the Public Comment proceeding. A small team, led by ALAC Member Justine Chew, organized these sessions and gave weekly presentations to the CPWG on the topic. In September 2020, the ALAC submitted a statement on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report, the culmination of months of volunteer work in developing At-Large scorecards on SubPro topics, creating a survey on geographic names, and analyzing feedback from the community of Internet end users.Recommendations for Early Warning for Root Zone Scaling
