Dear Councillors, Forwarded on behalf of Ron Sherwood. ----------------- Dear Councilors: Please find below a copy of an ALAC comment on the Google letter to Fadi Chehadi and a link to that letter in .PDF format. Plus a link to the TechCrunch article concerning the issue. Best regards, Ron Sherwood ccNSO/ALAC Liaison ----------begin copy---------- Google proposes to open its "closed generics" from: Evan Leibovitchvia<http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=1311182>atlarge-lists.icann.org<http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/> 6:52 AM (1 hour ago) [https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] [https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] [https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] to:ICANN Google has promised, in a letter to Fadi, that if it gets custody of certain strings considered to be closed generics, it will make subdomains under them publicly available. It probably will not, however, use the traditional indirect channel of going through registrars. This is exactly the kind of hybrid approach anticipated by the ALAC statement on the issue, and why I believed it prudent not to reject the concept out of hand. ----------end copy------ http://m.techcrunch.com/2013/03/09/if-it-gets-them-google-may-open-search-a… [.PDF file here<http://www.scribd.com/doc/129456330/Google-s-Letter-to-ICANN>]
