Dear Sergio, the ALAC Executive Committee had lunch with the GAC Leadership today and we raised the issues of .amazon, .patagonia and .cba At this stage, the ALAC is unable to raise objections since we are past the deadline for filing ALAC objections. The GAC has been considering the list of GTLDs applied for and their work continues throughout the week. Whilst we were not told which strings are currently being considered for objection, since the GAC's work is ongoing, I would remind you and your colleagues that there are several GAC representatives from the countries affected by the above strings and a natural course of action could be for you to write to your representatives. The GAC's work is scheduled to complete by the end of the ICANN week, hence the earlier you write, the better. But keep in mind that the GAC is approaching closure and will not consider new objections, so it really depends on the strings that the GAC has considered so far. I hope this helps in your approach. Best regards, Olivier Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair On 08/04/2013 08:37, Presidencia Internauta wrote:

Dear Members of ALAC,

Attached you will find a requirement of three members of LACRALO order request to ALAC to advise the Board of ICANN to reject the application for the '.patagonia'.

Also, during the day we will send a similar request regarding the domain '. Amazon'

Thanking you in advance. **Sergio Salinas Porto Presidente Internauta Argentina
