So let me get this straight. There's a formal vote on ... how to capitalise the At-Large Facebook page. Really. - Evan On 25 August 2010 08:28, ICANN At-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org>wrote:

Indeed. I had to leave the teleconference because the meeting ran over the scheduled time. Otherwise, I would have said that voting on such a matter is ridiculous. This is an operational matter for the staff to handle within their communications/PR department, or the ICANN webmaster. I am not aware the ALAC members have particular expertise in choosing the right words that will trigger the Google search algorithm best.. We complain that we are overworked, but this is clearly the sort of issues we should not have to deal with in the first place. Next time people laugh at ALAC, you'll know why.

My recollection is that it was due to be discussed but we ran out of time. My amazement (not being a Facebook user) is that capitalization matters. If we use ICANN.AtLarge, can someone else really set up an ICANN.ATLARGE??? Alan On 25 Aug 2010, at 17:05, Evan Leibovitch wrote:

No, FB URLs are not case-sensitive when typed in the browser bar. All variants will resolve to the same URL. However, they will always display the way you have set it. P.
