Re: [APAC-Discuss] Criteria for ALS Admission to RALO
by Carlton Samuels April 11, 2011

April 11, 2011

Dear Colleagues: The discussion here is of great interest to me not only from the perspective of an ALAC member who will vote to ratify the decision of a RALO but from my personal perspective as a member in good standing of the At-Large community. I share Darlene's perspective: It is not my position that I tell APRALO how to do its business. But it would be ill-advised if financial data for an ALS becomes part of the criteria for admission to the RALO club. I also doubt whether it is useful to encourage auditing of individual members of an ALS' membership. And while I can accept that in RALOS where the rules allows an individual membership, some minimum due diligence might be appropriate, there is no compelling rationale that says a criterion that examines funding/net worth position is necessary or, even desirable. My personal view is that the financial question is intrusive and altogether unnecessary for the purpose At-Large Structures are designed. What I care about is what they tell me. And the rationality of that can be judged by context as well as objective. ALS and individuals under the At-Large umbrella are supposed to provide perspectives on names and numbers policy from the edge. Any particular perspective form an ALS is filtered thru several layers before it becomes one of many that may eventually contribute to the formulation of a policy advice statement from the ALAC to the ICANN Board. Yes, funding and its sources or a person's netw worth may influence the perspective on a given matter from an ALS or individual. But that would not, in itself, render such a perspective illegitimate. And I am sure with the many sieves that will intervene before it gets to ALAC, there are several opportunities, in due course, to disqualify irrational or exuberant views which lack broad support.

APRALO response to IDN VIP proposal
by Edmon Chung April 7, 2011

April 7, 2011

Hi Everyone, As mentioned in our meeting during ICANN San Francisco, please find below a draft of a response to the proposed IDN VIP studies: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#idn-variant-tld The public comment period closes April 6 (next Wednesday). May I propose that we follow the suggested time frame of calling for a review and suggestion for edits for 3 days (until end of this week), upon which, I can help to consolidate/integrate any comments into a final version by next Monday (April 3) for a last call circulation of 3 days, thereupon if no further objection, we would submit the comment into the public comments. Your thoughts/comments will be most welcome. Edmon =================================== APRALO Response on Draft Proposal for the Study of Issues Related to the Delegation of IDN Variant TLDs APRALO welcomes the proposed studies on IDN Variant TLDs. IDN TLDs are critical for the Asia Pacific Internet community. Without the delegation of preferred IDN Variants, the IDN TLD process is incomplete. The IDN Variant TLD issue is well understood in the Asia Pacific Internet community. Comprehensive studies for Chinese, Indic and Arabic have been conducted. Especially for the Chinese community, the issue has studied for over a decade since 2000, and there is ample IDN Variant policy implementation and operational experience. While we are encouraged that ICANN is finally recognizing the criticality of the delegation of IDN Variant TLDs, we also encourage ICANN to recognize the work that is already done by the community. Most importantly, we strongly suggest to ICANN to complete its adoption of bottom-up developed IDN Variant policies for the language communities where policy and operational experience is already mature and proven. Regarding the proposed studies, the separation of the work into different case studies provides an appropriate direction. We expect this would help pave the way to ensure that delays or complications for one (or more) cases will not impede the progress for the others. Finally, the composition of the case study teams would be crucial to the success of the studies. The policy and operational expertise from the Asia Pacific community, who has been working on the IDN Variant issue for an extended period of time should be leveraged by all study teams. We believe that the APRALO should be consulted to identify appropriate members to participate in the case studies. Furthermore, whereas a reasonable size for the teams is important to ensure workable efficiency and effectiveness, an inclusive approach, especially for observers would also be essential for the completeness and support of the work produced.
