My support is exactly on the lines of what Rinalia has said. We should go ahead with a Yes to Objection.

Holly,

On the objection regarding the 4 applications for ".health" in the Latin script, there is no question that the objection should be supported (i.e., Vote: Yes to objection).

On the objection regarding the application for " “.健康” in the Han script, a nuanced position is required (i.e., Vote: No to objection, BUT with a caveat).

I understand that you have to vote YES/NO/ABSTAIN. I trust that you can submit the vote *and the caveat* via a remarks field if it is available or via a separate mail to the relevant parties. The ALAC will be considering regional advice in its deliberations on whether or not to proceed with the objections and it has experience in handling nuance.

*Caveat on support for “.健康”:* I would support Stable Tone's application if the company voluntarily commits to being socially responsible and submits enforceable Public Interest Commitment (PIC) specifications to ICANN for inclusion in its new gTLD registry agreement with a genuine intent to carry them out to address the weaknesses in its application with regard to consumer protection (i.e., clear guidelines for assessing potential harm to consumers and consumer health and the appropriate measures for addressing that harm including consultations with relevant experts/authorities) and where violation of the PIC would result in loss of license to operate the TLD.

In the event that such PIC is not forthcoming from Stable Tone, I will overturn my support for “.健康” at the ALAC level when it is time for the ALAC to make a decision.

In addition and in relation to this, I urge the APRALO community to intensify its work with the ALAC to ensure that ICANN is able to enforce gTLD contractual obligations rigorously.

Best regards,

Rinalia Abdul Rahim

Hi Everyone

Today is the deadline for APRALO votes on this issue.

...

From what has been said on the list, there is no issue with supporting objections for the first 4 application for health.

Also, form what has been an extensive discussion, we can separate out the fifth application - and at the least, abstain.

Please let me know if you you are not happy for me to cast the APRALO vote in this way.

Holly
