by ICANN At-Large Staff July 2, 2013

July 2, 2013

Dear All, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the ALAC, has asked that a vote be held by the ALAC on the proposed Decertification of Internet Society Pakistan (APRALO). The following question has been posed to the ALAC: ***** QUESTION: Do you support the following motion which was made by Alan Greenberg on 1 July 2013 and seconded by Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro on 1 July 2013 (both on the ALAC mailing list)? Whereas the At-Large Structure: Internet Society Pakistan Chapter no longer seems to exist, its domain name (isocpk.org) has expired, and all communication with identified leaders of the ALS has failed; Whereas the Internet Society has informed the Chair of the ALAC that this Internet Society Chapter has been closed; Whereas other At-Large participants from Pakistan have verified that the Internet Society Pakistan Chapter no longer exists; Whereas the ALAC has documented the due diligence investigating this decertification as per https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Internet+Society+Pakistan+%28AP…; Whereas the ALAC allows for such decertification as per Section II.7 of the At-Large Framework Formation (http://www.atlarge.icann.org/framework.htm#CertificationProcess) It is resolved that the ALAC decertifies the Internet Society Pakistan Chapter as an ICANN At-Large Structure. Such decertification is subject ICANN Board Reconsideration as per Article IV, Section 2 of the ICANN Bylaws and is done without prejudice to any future re-application of this organization for certification as an ALS, or the application for ALS certification of any new group bearing the same name. ***** Additional information on this decertification is available on the <https://community.icann.org/x/5jx-Ag> Internet Society Pakistan (APRALO) Decertification Workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/5jx-Ag>.

ICANN News Alert -- Draft Final Report ccNSO Study Group on the Use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs
by ICANN At-Large Staff July 2, 2013

July 2, 2013

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-02jul13-en.htm ________________________________ Draft Final Report ccNSO Study Group on the Use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs 2 July 2013 Forum Announcement: Comment Period Opens on Date: 2 July 2013 Categories/Tags: * Top-Level Domains * Policy Processes * Transparency/Accountability Purpose (Brief): The treatment of country and territory names as Top Level Domains is a topic that has been discussed by the ccNSO, GAC, GNSO, ALAC and the ICANN Board for a number of years. Issues regarding the treatment of representations of country and territory names have arisen in a wide range of ICANN policy processes, including the IDN fast track, IDN ccPDP, and the development of the new gTLD Applicant guidebook. It is in recognising the absence of the importance of country and territory names to a wide range of stakeholders, that the ccNSO Council convened the Study Group on the use of Country and Territory Names. The Study Group has completed its work and is now seeking feed-back and input from the ICANN community.
