Re: [APAC-Discuss] Draft Statement on Compliance Issues within ICANN:@
by h.raiche＠internode.on.net April 10, 2013

April 10, 2013

iPads are frustrating - I had drafted a long reply which has now disappeared. So here goes fIrst, I share many of garth's concerns about I accuracy and the failure of compliance to act, for all the reasons of safety, security and consumer protection that are listed. That said, I cannot support this statement. For a start, wedo not have p.roof of why staff were dismissed and without it, what is said is almost defamatory. Next, we do not need to list instances of when inaccuracies were pointed out and, as far as, we know, action was not taken. It is enough to say that we are aware of instances when proven inaccuracies in Whois were drawn to compliance' attention with no apparent response. Finally, we should note that proposed changes to the RAA and related documents will place far greater responsibility for Whois accuracy on registrars, and we would expect that it will be accompanied by firmer action by compliance in future to ensure the accuracy of Whois data. As I have said, while I am a strong supporter of Whois accuracy and the role compliance should have been playing, I do not support this statement, as currently drafted, being made on behalfl of, alac or APRALO Holly > I would like to encourage the ALSes to support the statement and to > endorse putting it forward to the ALAC. > > Kind Regards, > Sala > > Sent from my iPad > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > APAC-Discuss mailing list > APAC-Discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/apac-discuss [1] > > Homepage for the region: http://www.apralo.org [2] > > > > Links: > ------ > [1] > http://webmail-old.internode.on.net/parse.php?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fatlarg > e-lists.icann.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fapac-discuss[2] > http://webmail-old.internode.on.net/parse.php?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apr > alo.org >

APRALO budget request got 2014
by Holly Raiche March 30, 2013

March 30, 2013

Hi Everyone As the email below suggests, there will be further discussion on our request (and those of others) for FY 2014. We (rather hurriedly) prepared one already in light of two considerations. The first is that, this year, ALAC will be making a submission for funding for an ALAC Summit for London in June 2014 - that is representatives from all the ALSs. In light of that, we were advised that it is advisable if we not request funding for a General Assembly for our region. However, there is still the possibility of funding for an IGF presence. So this submission was for just that - some assistance, plus travel to this year's IGF. And the topic is one that is particularly important to this regions - IDN/IDN variants. We will be holding an hour's session in Beijing on the topic - and already, the preparatory call for the session highlighted the many issues the topic raises. There will be another meeting of the finance subcommittee - and this is the application I will be discussing. So if any of you have feedback on how we can improve this submission let me know soon so I can reflect your input at the next meeting.
