All the other regions are entitled to the same exercise. This is just a call to anybody from Africa who would like to make a comment of public interest to do it on time on any New gTLD application . I will keep on informing you on the evolution of this review process of comments and objections on New gTLD applications if they are for the public interest for Africa.

Hi. I did so to refresh my understanding. What I posted is my opinion and based on my respect to Guidelines. I do not see what is wrong unless the message in the article was confusing......? My message is to request all of us to follow guidelines. Many thanks

Dear Yassin,

This is embarassing. Please take time to understand fully and properly ICANN processes (including the importance of At-Large) before posting such comments?

Hello. Thank you for this communication which I wish to aspire my concern..

Does it mean that the ICANN process and Policy is no longer valid? I wonder why do you post such a request...?

May I strongly object such moves and ask to adhere to agreed modes of operations please?

I am forced to state publically that the issue of .africa is now unhealthy and polluted by personal gain issues.

Let us stop this asap before Africa looses it all and I am not ready to see that happening to future generations Kind regards Yassin

Dear All,

The At-Large new gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG ; https://community.icann.org/x/u7-bAQ) is seeking comments from At-Large on the new gTLD applications and applied for strings received by ICANN for its New gTLD program (http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about).

The At-Large comments will be used by the gTLD RG to: * draft formal comments for evaluation panels' consideration or on objection grounds. These formal comments will be reviewed by ALAC for submission as ALAC comments during ICANN's 60 day Application Comment Period (June 13 - August 12 2012) to ICANN's New gTLD Application Comments Forum (https://community.icann.org/x/sxUQAg) . * decide whether to draft a formal objection statement to a gTLD application on limited public interest or community grounds for RALO’s consideration and ALAC's during the 7 month objection period as part of ICANN's Objection and Dispute Resolution Process.

All At-Large comments received will be kept at the At-Large new gTLD Applications Dashboard at https://community.icann.org/x/w7-bAQ. Visit this page to learn how to review information about the gTLD applications and applicants and how to submit your comments.

The deadline for At-Large comments to be considered by the gTLD RG in time for possible submission during the Application Comment Period is July 26 2012.

Kind Regards,

Dev Anand Teelucksingh Interim chair of the new gTLD RG
