| ALAC: Advice to the ICANN Board on Subsequent Procedures (R-08B) | AL-ALAC-ST-0421-02-01-EN (R-08B) | Phase 2 | Understand |
DESCRIPTION
We also question the wisdom of leaving many key aspects for development by a Dedicated Implementation Review Team (IRT) – such as addressing a risk of gaming, assessment of willful gaming and penalties to deter the gaming, and development of the Bid Credit for Applicant Support qualifiers – since these would conceivably involve questions of policy where the community’s input would prove crucial. Faced with this situation, we call for priority for ALAC membership in the Dedicated IRT.
DEPENDENCIES
Progress pending the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Final Report.
STATUS UPDATES
Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates |
---|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | As noted at the joint Board-ALAC session at ICANN75, the Board greatly appreciates the ALAC's responses to the Board's questions. The Board continues to review and consider the ALAC advice, to determine whether, in addition to informing the Board’s deliberations, there are actionable items that may require Board action before (or after) the Board takes action on the SubPro policy recommendations. The Board anticipates that this exercise will be completed in the first half of 2023 and that a response to the advice would come at the time of action on the SubPro Final Report – or shortly thereafter. |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | The ALAC reiterates that the Board has not specifically addressed our Advice on the need for evaluation metrics, resource allocation and commitment towards the Application Support Program (ASP). We think it is ill advised for the Board to wait for the SubPro Operational Design Assessment (ODA) before acting to at least firm up the ASP because program objectives are the domain of policy, not implementation. |
| Phase 2 | Clarifying Question | The Board agrees that participation from underserved regions is a top priority... [through SubProODP] ...ICANN Org has been directed to investigate whether it is feasible for “ICANN org to facilitate small in-person or hybrid community meeting(s), should travel and meeting conditions allow, to begin generating awareness in underserved regions regarding the potential opportunity of subsequent rounds, to initiate discussions regarding how ICANN org will provide support for linguistic needs and IDNs, and to provide information regarding ICANN's mission and the goals of the new gTLD initiative.” |
