I did ask that such a discussion take place, twice I think. But I am not aware of it happening. I am adding the item to the Agenda of the ALAC meeting in 9 hours.

ccNSO Report on Confusing Similarity for TLD Strings
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Feb. 27, 2017

Feb. 27, 2017

Dear ALAC, Re: ALAC's position on the ccNSO report on confusing similarity for TLD strings. There will be a board discussion on this topic soon. As I recall, the ALAC endorsed the report and then saw the report issued by the SSAC regarding concerns over the EPSRP. I believe there was some discussion about the ALAC position, on whether it should change. What is the status of the ALAC position on the ccNSO Report and the EPSRP now? Best regards, Rinalia

Re: [ALAC] [lac-discuss-en] Replacement Elector For Leon Sánchez
by Carlton Samuels Feb. 24, 2017

Feb. 24, 2017

I add my support for Fatima to replace Leon as elector for the Board member election. Notwithstanding my support here, the rule that makes the RALO the determining voice for the vote of a NomCom appointed ALAC member is hopelessly flawed. Maybe it was unintentional but this impugns the independence of the member. The unfettered independence of the NomCom appointed ALAC member is a major objective of that process and is meant to insulate that person from regional passions. That independence is especially valuable when that is an elector for the Board member. should not be conscripted. -Carlton Samuels ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= >

Call for Nominations - ALT Member from EU
by Alan Greenberg Feb. 24, 2017

Feb. 24, 2017

As you know, Veronica Cretu has resigned her position on the ALAC and EURALO has now announced that her position is being filled by Bastiaan Goslings. Veronica was also the EU member of the ALAC Leadership Team (ALT). At the time of her resignation, it was agreed that we would not refill her ALT position until we had the full complement of three EU ALAC Members who are eligible to fill this position. As per to the ALAC Rules of Procedure (http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09) 17.4.2, we are obliged to formally open a Call For Nominations for this vacancy. I have been informed that the three ALAC Members have already come to an agreement as to who will sit on the ALT. Accordingly, I am opening a Call for Nominations for the EU ALT seat. Eligible candidates are Sébastien Bachollet, Bastiaan Goslings and Andrei Kolesnikov. Only ALAC Members are eligible to make nominations. The Call for Nominations will end on Friday, 24 February 2017 at 23:59 UTC. Alan Greenberg Chair, ALAC
