On behalf of Dev Anand Teelucksingh, gTLD Review Group Chair: Dear All, As per the process by which the ALAC can object to a new gTLD application, (see PDF at http://bit.ly/how-ALAC-files-objection-to-new-gTLD) the ALAC must consider the RALO advice submitted to the ALAC by March 6 2013 regarding objection statements on community grounds against 5 new gTLD applications. See https://community.icann.org/x/soxwAg for the announcement sent to the RALOs for details. Objection statements NOT supported by at least three RALOs will not be considered by the ALAC. For those objection statements that are supported by three or more RALOs, the ALAC has to decide whether to file such objection statements to the Dispute Resolution Service Provider (DRSP) before the end of the objection period on March 13 2013. Please complete the attached Doodle poll to schedule an ALAC call on Friday March 8 2013 to consider RALO advice regarding objection statements http://doodle.com/ig9zkzuh9f6q89wc Thank you. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh gTLD RG chair, ALAC member -------------------- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Julia Charvolen ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff@atlarge.icann.org One World, One Internet
