Thanks Alan for the update. I disagree with the broad sweep in which the questions 1 - 4 were answered and have written substantively in the past so will not be regurgitating my arguments nor position.

The PDP WG on special protection for IGO/INGO names has requested that ACs and SOs submit comments on a number of questions related to special protections of IGO/INGO names.
Evan and I were asked to draft a statement for the consideration and possible approval of the ALAC and it can be found at https://community.icann.org/x/**5IFQAg<https://community.icann.org/x/5IFQAg>. Input was requested to be submitted by 08 January 2013, but there should be no problem with getting it in a bit later.
Evan is travelling at the moment, but his contributions were substantive and the document has his support. We both believe that it conforms well to positions previously taken by the ALAC.
I am not sure if Olivier wants to subject this statement to a formal ALAC vote. In my mind, it does not need a formal vote, but we do need to ensure that it (or what it gets revised to) does conform to general ALAC feelings. So please post your comments to the Wiki.
A copy is attached here for your convenience.
