AGENDA (English) 

1.      Roll call 2’ 
2.      Open Public comment (Mohamed) 5’ 

• See: Policy Advice Development Page
• See : ICANN Public Comment page

Statements approved by the ALAC

• • Release for Registration one .COM Domain Name with a Single-Character Label: O.COM

    During ICANN62, the ALAC revised, ratified and resubmitted their Statement. The ALAC supported the proposition, provided it offers the proceeds to nonprofit organizations that serve the public interest. The ALAC offered three suggestions to that end: (1) ICANN should permit the release of O.com and allow Verisign to conduct a third-party auction, (2) Third-party auction service providers should screen candidates for auction, and (3) Verisign should forfeit the auction’s proceeds and renewals to non-profit entity.
  • Draft Final Report of the RSSAC2 Review
    The ALAC is responsible for representing the interests of Internet end users within ICANN, and there are few parts of the Internet as critical as the Root Server System. The ALAC commented specifically on recommendations 1, 2 and 5 of the RSSAC2 Review, related to 1) RSSAC membership criteria, the 2) RSSAC charter and 3) engaging more effectively with ICANN.
