Fully agreed. As a member of CCTRT from ALAC, I will actively participate. This is so important an issue, ALAC should seriously discuss and have our vioce heard on behalf of the billions.

They should also have a look at the stuff we did, that is on our policy page - and I’m happy to have an informal chat whenever just to put in my two cents worth - as should all of us who have spent years on the issue Anyway - happy to have John and Seun on board Holly On 13 Dec 2016, at 1:21 pm, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> wrote: We have been discussing re-activating the New gTLD WG for quite some time, and did so again in Hyderabad. We have two volunteers to co-chair the group (now the At-Large gTLD WG), John Laprise and Seun Ojedeji. Following a discussion with the ALT and with the two candidates, I would like to propose that the ALAC agree to name them as co-chairs of the At-Large gTLD WG. Both John and Seun are relatively new to the world of new gTLDs, but both have agreed to work to get up to speed (with mentors) and to join the relevant GNSO WGs The next steps would be: - Draft a mission statement for the WG - Put out a call for members - Schedule the first meeting, which will be a level-set of where we have come from and current processes With this message, I am initiating a Consensus Call of the ALAC to appoint John Laprise and Seun Ojedeji (in alphabetic order) as Co-Chairs of the At-Large gTLD WG. The Consensus Call will end at 23:59 on Monday Wednesday, 19 December 2016. If there are any questions of comments, please direct them to either this list or to me directly. Although messages indicating support are welcome, they are not necessary. This Consensus Call will be deemed to have succeeded in the absence of significant opposition (greater than 20% as specified by ALAC RoP 12.3.3.1).
