Statements approved by the ALAC

• 1. • Draft Final Report of the NomCom2 Review

The ALAC made 8 general comments to improve the function of the NomCom, noting that while confidentiality needs to be maintained, whenever possible, open, transparent processes should be adopted to represent the multistakeholder nature of ICANN.
       
     • Draft Project Plan for the Proposed Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) 
       As the principle voice of end users within the ICANN community, the ALAC supported the SSAC in its efforts to address the issue of Name Collisions, while encouraging clarity on the SSAC's bidding process for work contemplated under the Draft Project Plan.
