New ICANN Travel Procedures

ALS Application
It was decided that the regional advise for Internauta Chile would be to approve the application. The regional advice will now be transmitted to the ALAC for consideration.
LACRALO Operating Principles
With regards to the proposed amendments to the Operating Principles, it was generally felt that a two-year term for the proposed regional Chair position would be preferable to a one-year term.

Registrant Registrar Relations Activities
A call was recently made for volunteers to work on two new initiatives in relation to the Registrar Accreditation Agreements. One is working with the registrar community to set up a list with registrants’ rights and responsibilities to protect registrants. Secondly, it was suggested to work with registrars to produce code of conduct for registrars. Some ccTLD have already adopted such code of conducts in Europe and Asia but there was nothing on a global level. Beau Brendler will be the Chair of these initiatives. There are still representatives needed from LACRALO.
