Thank you for this interesting report, Justine.
To the Policy Forum members
(1) Justine is very fortunate to be able to incorporate key points, raised during the recent APRALO discussions, into the ALAC submission about the important Recommendation 17.2 of the Applicant Support Programme.
This does not stop APRALO or any individual in APRALO from making a separate submission detailing the more specific Asia Pacific perspectives on the issue.
This is an opportunity for the Policy Forum to present something from our region on a specific policy issue that was very well discussed with Justine. Let's start having our say in these public comments.
All we need is someone to volunteer to be a penholder and to put their initial draft on a google doc so that others can contribute to it (just as the ALAC is doing).
(2) The GNSO recently released their Initial report with the 9 separate issues on the applicant Support Programme, to be discussed by the public. You don't have to look at the whole 9 issues - just choose ONE recommendation that you think others might find interesting to start a discussion, as an APAC end-user topic.
Closing date for GGP comments is 11 September. so you would have to have it done by 8th September. Information on the GGP public comment is below:
