| Date Issued | Reference ID | Current Phase |

| AL-ALAC-ST-0421-02-01-EN (R-08A) | Phase 2 | Understand |
Description:
In the present absence of consensus policy recommendations by SubPro WG with respect to Closed Generics, the ALAC advises the ICANN Board to direct ICANN Org to suspend any processing or acceptance of any applications for Closed Generics until such time consensus policy is adopted on how to address applications for Closed Generics which serve a global public interest.
STATUS UPDATES
| Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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.” |
| Phase 2 | Phase Change | Now Phase 2 |
| Phase 1 | Phase Update | Acknowledgment sent to ALAC |
