February 2013 Report

 

NEW ALSs

 

We are happy to welcome the Armenian Association for the Disabled as a new member of At- Large Community – and APRALO.

 

 

 

APRALO Meeting Report –  26 February

 

Dev Anand Teelucksingh, Chair of the At-Large new gTLD Review Group

 

Dev outlined the purpose of the review group – to provide community input  (and objections) on proposed new gTLDs.  He outlined the process by which ALAC can object.  All  5 RALOs must review each of the five gTLD applications/objections and advice ALAC whether it supports or rejects the Review group’s recommendations – BY 5 MARCH. See https://community.icann.org/x/soxwAg for all of the information and please get back to me with your thoughts.

 

 

 

ICANN FY2014  Budget– Olivier Crepin LeBlond

 

The ICANN finance committee will soon call for submissions on projects.  For the coming year, ALAC is most likely to be seeking funding for one main event – an At-Large Summit in London in June 2014, which means it would be ‘unwise’ for ALAC or the RALOs to seek other funding.

 

 

 

Policy Update – Olivier Crepin LeBlond

 

Olivier reviewed the statements/comments etc being considered (or not) be the ALAC.  See https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Policy+Development+Page

 

The one issue where there are real differences within ALAC is on the issue of closed gTLDs.  The text on the policy page now includes text which sets out both viewpoints, plus comments from others.  ALAC is now asking RALOs for their views on this issue – so please at least read about this issue and either comment directly on the page or let me know what your views are.
