As per the process by which the ALAC can object to a new gTLD application, (see PDF at http://bit.ly/how-ALAC-files-objection-to-new-gTLD ), the new gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG) have posted objection statements to 5 new gTLD applications for Regional At-Large Organisation (RALO) review and advice to the ALAC. The gTLD RG drafted the statements based on the outcomes of its review and discussion of comments received by February 8 2013 (see http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/at-large/2013q1/009493.html)
All 5 RALOs must review EACH of the 5 gTLD applications and their corresponding objection statements and advise the ALAC as to whether the RALO supports the objection statement to be filed by the ALAC to the new gTLD application.
No modifications can be made to the objection statements by the RALO. The RALO can only support the objection statement "as is" or not support the objection statement.
This advice for each of the 5 objection statements must be sent to the ALAC by March 5 2013, 23:59 UTC in time before the ALAC can review the RALO advice before the end of the objection period on March 13 2013.
The five applications and corresponding objection statements that the RALOs must review and advise the ALAC as to whether the RALO supports the objection statement or not.
Members of At-Large can discuss, post comments before March 5 2013 on the corresponding wiki pages
