Gisella Gruber-White:Welcome to the New gTLD call on the 30 January 2012
Gisella Gruber-White:Today's Agenda: https://community.icann.org/x/NZHbAQ
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:PDF link : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/877052/new-gTLD-WG/30-jan-2012/At-Large-ALAC-Process-for-considering-and-making-objections-to-new-gTLD-Applications-v3-30Jan2012.pdf
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:Hello all
Tijani BEN JEMAA:dropped
Andrew Mack:Hi all
Evan Leibovitch:I must say that I'm having increasingly good luck using Google Translate
Gisella Gruber-White:Andrew Mack has joined the call
Gisella Gruber-White:@ Tijani - we are dialling out to you
Tijani BEN JEMAA:Dropped
Evan Leibovitch:Not perfect but it does quite well.... even Chinese to English
Evan Leibovitch:@Dev -- the crucial approval is ALAC's
Evan Leibovitch:So long as it doesn't violate any of the AG principles, IMO it's submitted to the Board for information, and to Staff as part of the process
Gisella Gruber-White:Tijani is back
Evan Leibovitch:The theory is that ALAC has oversight over the Board, not vice versa.
Evan Leibovitch:Whether that theory is borne in reality is a different matter :-P
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:In theory
Andrew Mack:is it just my line, or is Tijani coming in really softly?
Evan Leibovitch:His line is soft. We'll just have to concentrate ;-)
Rudi Vansnick:sorry for delay
Rudi Vansnick:strikes are not very helpful if you really want to get work done ;-)
Evan Leibovitch:Q: At this time, is ANYONE -- on the WG or staff -- aware of any group intending to object to an application?
Evan Leibovitch:The timing is early ... but just as applicants have been getting ready, surely potential objectors have been preparing as well, at least those who are aware of what's going on

Evan Leibovitch:the voices in my head are no louder than usual.
Andrew Mack:do they need to be translated?
Evan Leibovitch:Not yet. And my crackers are usually silent on the matter of new gTLDs.
Rudi Vansnick:@Evan : .crackers new GTLD coming up ?

Evan Leibovitch:Tijani's line is VERY muffled
Rudi Vansnick:i imagine this can only happen when someone is logged in ?
Rudi Vansnick:it is not publicly available for comment ?
Heidi Ullrich:Dev, the gtLD RG would need an email address, correct?
Rudi Vansnick:can an ALS make a comment ?
Rudi Vansnick:without going through ALAC ?
Rudi Vansnick:shouldn't we restrict it to ALSes ?
Rudi Vansnick:OK thanks Dev
Rudi Vansnick:all depends on what is going to be entered as applications
Rudi Vansnick:what could be the reason of an objection ?
Gisella Gruber-White:Andrew Disconnected
Andrew Mack:sorry I disconnected. answer is no, don't think tbere will be a lot of objections. depends in part on the process -- the harder it is, the fewer the objections
Rudi Vansnick:only one message in newsletter
Rudi Vansnick:no promotion on the new GTLD website
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:new gTLDs - what to expect in 2012 - http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/announcement-23jan12-en - gives key dates for the different phases of the new gTLD program
