FINAL VERSION TO BE SUBMITTED IF RATIFIED

The final version to be submitted, if the draft is ratified, will be placed here by upon completion of the vote. 

FINAL DRAFT VERSION TO BE VOTED UPON BY THE ALAC

The ALAC notes that some of the new gTLD applications that are intended for communities and have wide public or grassroots support were not submitted as community applications.  These applications are currently in contention with those that are not designed for the benefit of specific communities of interest and are driven purely by commercial considerations.

We firmly believe that applications with demonstrable support, appropriate safeguards and strong emphasis on community service should be accorded preferential treatment in the new gTLD string contention resolution process. We thus support the position of the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) as per its Durban Communiqué dated 18 July 2013.  We call on ICANN to review all 688 applications currently in contention and provide preferential treatment to applications that meet the characteristics of community applications.

FIRST DRAFT SUBMITTED

The ALAC notes that due to strict eligibility criteria, some of the new gTLD applications intended for communities and with wide public/grassroots support were not submitted as community applications.  These applications are currently in contention with those that are fully commercial (i.e., driven purely by financial gain). 

We firmly believe that applications with demonstrable support, appropriate safeguards and emphasis on community service over revenue maximization should be accorded preferential treatment in the new gTLD string contention resolution process.  We thus support the position of the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) as per the GAC Communiqué dated 18 July 2013 and call on ICANN to review all 688 applications currently in contention and provide preferential treatment to applications that meet the specification described above.
