Phase 1 Initial Report of the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Policy Development Process
Executive Summary TBD

Executive Summary TBD

Revised Community Travel Support Guidelines
The ALAC noted that At-Large is unique within the ICANN community in that virtually all volunteers in At-Large activities, including those involving travel, do so as true volunteers. Without ICANN travel support, the number of active At-Large participants at ICANN meetings would be few in number. The ALAC specifically commented on wire transfer and foreign exchange fees/losses, visa reimbursement, travel insurance, ICANN arranged travel, room guarantees, forced overnight delays, early check-in and late check-out, as they pertain to the successful participation of the community during ICANN meetings.

ccNSO PDP3: Initial Proposals for Process to Retire ccTLDs
As a whole, the ALAC supports the ccNSO PDP3.  From an end user perspective, the ALAC suggested two points to be considered: 1) As a user of the Internet, the removal of a TLD will mean less likelihood for confusion as usually a ccTLD would be removed to make way for a new one. This enhances Trust in the domain name identifiers; 2) As a domain name registrant, the retirement of the ccTLD could pose a problem when correspondents are accustomed to use the "old" address using the obsolete ccTLD. Some companies have built a brand around the "old" ccTLD.

Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) Study 1: Proposed Final Report
The ALAC strongly supports the SSAC in proceeding with Studies 2 and 3, and it also strongly urges the ICANN Board and ICANN Org/OCTO to take the necessary action to facilitate the conduct and funding of the NCAP Studies 2 and 3 in a manner agreeable by the SSAC.

Draft PTI FY21-24 Strategic Plan
The ALAC supports the five strategic objectives of the Draft PTI Strategic Plan, and strategies to achieve those objectives. The ALAC particularly supported the following elements: Awareness of PTI's mandate and remit, alignment of ICANN and PTI’s Strategic and Financial Plans, and input into the development of ICANN policies.

ICANN Africa Regional Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025 AFRALO Statement
The AFRALO statement was in response to the ICANN Africa Regional Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025. As all AFRALO countries fall under the Africa Regional Plan, a drafting team from the region provided feedback on strategy topics such as security, ICANN governance, unique identifiers system, geopolitics, and financials.

Note: Ratified by the AFRALO & APRALO Leadership Teams Team and the ALAC.
