IMO, a very good channeling for all that is sense-making re these matters; a more detailed - and therefore extended - framework for the ALAC statement. I think the criteria laid out for determining special protected status is eminently sensible and defensible. We might wish to review and adopt this document as definitive to ALAC's thinking; give it some official status. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 9:29 AM, Rinalia Abdul Rahim < rinalia.abdulrahim@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear ALAC colleagues,
Please find attached a paper contribution by Dr. Jovan Kurbalija of DiploFoundation, which is intended to provide an input to the ALAC’s discussion on the protection of names of international inter-governmental organisations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organisations (INGOs). The ALAC Excom had agreed to solicit Dr. Kurbalija's input on this topic to help inform ALAC interventions.
Dr. Kurbalija is copied on this mail in case you wish to have some interaction with him regarding the topic.
Best regards,
Rinalia

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. 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.
