1. Raise questions about the process and criteria that led to the appointment of the EIU. JJS has flagged some of the key questions.
I have asked Staff to raise this internally and am awaiting a reply.
2. Raise questions about how ICANN will ensure that EIU will have appropriate community expertise among its cadre of evaluators and what kind of training they will have that provides community orientation/sensitivity. Carlton has flagged some of the questions.
This was already raised in a Statement we have sent to the Board and the Board newgTLD Committee with both Chairs acknowledging receipt of the Statement and promising a further reply soon.
Happy to draft something for the ALAC's consideration.
Well I am not too sure about what further Statement to send out. Staff should provide me with a confirmation of the votes today and I'll follow-up with the Chairs of the Board and the Board new gTLD Committee, providing them with the ALAC's vote counts. I will take this opportunity to ask specifically about the EIU question which we have raised. If you believe I should raise any other question along this line, please let me know ASAP so I'll integrate it in my email. Kind regards, Olivier
