Our Community (10 Minutes)

 56.1 A discussion lead by Garth B. and Tom L. on reserving the strings "At-Large" and "AtLarge" within all new gTLDs. The purpose is to keep these names available for At-Large activities within new communities which emerge from within the new gTLDs. Because of At-Large's unique role in the ICANN community this is on opportunity for us to stake a claim in the namespace an promote our work. Should bring this to the attention of other regions. This will also prevent cyberquatters from holding our chartered identity and potentially misusing it. THANKS to Tom for bringing this to the Chair's attention.

Explanation: Daylight Savings Time (DST) is a program which moves the official hour ahead by one during the summer to preserve more daylight in the evening. DST is not universally or equally observed. DST changes have occasionally caused confusion for  NARALO call times. For us this means specifically, we will be observing DST.
