The At-Large Advisory Committee notes that:
- The Board of Directors of ICANN should receive a statement from the At-Large community in relation to the GNSO's work on developing a policy framework for the inclusion of new generic Top-Level-Domains in the root zone;
- The community has yet to come to a single consensus view on the GNSO's proposals
Therefore, the ALAC Resolves that:
- The work of the New GTLD Policy Working Group should be encouraged and accelerated so as to conclude work on a statement that the community can review;
- The drafting and review process should be completed in good time to allow a statement to be provided to the Board of Directors on this subject in advance of, or at, the Paris ICANN Meeting
To this end, The ALAC requests that the ALAC Executive Committee and the At-Large Staff should provide all necessary assistance to the work of the committee so that a review of the progress may be taken by the ALAC in its May 2008 meeting.
