Dear Jean, dear Bret,
Hi all,
 
something really spectacular happened at ICANN-ALAC/RALO Delhi Meeting: Nick gave a presentation on the structure and tools of a new ALAC website. The good news - we are back to free software based working tools.
 
But the even better and almost unbeleivable news - after all the trouble we have been going through the last years - is:
ALAC/RALOs can organize the structure of and feed in content on this website without having to go through a confirmation procedure by ICANN legal staff. No more delays, no more potential censorship and therefore, I guess, no more need to run a seperate website on our own.
 
I am curious though what new legal perspective has been applicated.
 
Anyhow, it seems there is, at least at this point, a real progress in ICANN's setting of participation procedures.
 
It is great, that  the time consuming parallel work and quarell and suffering from dealing with different websites of the last years seems to have an end.
 
Congratulations to all, who helped to make that happen.
 
Greetings
 
Annette
