Hi, ALAC asked for an issues report on domain name tasting in 2006. This is the first step in the policy development process. ALAC can take credit for this. I offer Wendy's original teleconf notes (wiki has been changed though) and a subsequent note after Marrakech's public forum presentation, which Annette gave. I remember she and I put the powerpoint together. It was historic! I wonder if I still have it!

Since we clearly cannot get all of our work done through once-monthly teleconferences, especially when the teleconference facilities are so awful, I reiterate that we should do more through sub-committee working groups (formal or informal). Here would be my suggestions (some already formed): Budget (John, Jacqueline, Annette) Website/communications (Jean, Izumi, Sebastian (I think)) Research (Wendy, Bret, Alice, Annette) Outreach Meetings (i.e., scheduling and organization for the ICANN meetings) ALS/RALOs Topic-oriented: These can be more fluid, coming into existence when we want to learn more about a particular topic or to provide advice to the Board.

The ALAC will send a formal request on this. You should receive it in the next day or so. We will transmit to Staff and the Board as well. Bret

Hello All,
I have just heard the ALAC presentation in the public forum.
There was mention of a request to produce an issues report on domain name tasting.
For reference, please note from the Policy Development process in Annex A: GNSO Policy-Development Process
http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#AnnexA
1. Raising an Issue
An issue may be raised for consideration as part of the PDP by any of the following:
c. Advisory Committee Initiation. An Advisory Committee may raise an issue for policy development by action of such committee to commence the PDP, and transmission of that request to the GNSO Council.
I assume if ALAC wants an issues report on this topic that they will formally transmit a request to the GNSO Council.
Regards, Bruce Tonkin Chair, GNSO Council
