Dear all, Please find included the written ALC update Kind regards, Bart From: wafa DAHMANI <wafa@ati.tn> Date: Monday 25 June 2018 at 13:03 To: Katrina Sataki <katrina@nic.lv>, Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel@icann.org> Subject: [Ext] ALAC updates Dear Katrina, Dear Bart About ALAC policy activities the members of ALAC have recently approved the following statements CCWG-Accountability WS2 Final Report [community.icann.org] (https://community.icann.org/x/TgAFBQ) The ALAC noted that the assurance of full consistency between all of the recommendations - which are noted in the report to be more than 100 - would depend primarily on the interpretation of the recommendations and the implementation plan. The ALAC recommends dedicating enough time to ensure inconsistencies do not result due to misinterpretation of the recommendations. Draft Final Report of the NomCom2 Review [community.icann.org](https://community.icann.org/x/y4LpB) On the whole, the ALAC believes the ICANN NomCom system has been working well considering the significant challenges it faces. The ALAC made 8 general comments to improve the function of the NomCom, noting that while confidentiality needs to be maintained, whenever possible, open, transparent processes should be adopted to represent the multistakeholder nature of ICANN. Draft Project Plan for the Proposed Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) [community.icann.org] (https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=79438448) As the principle voice of end users within the ICANN community, the ALAC supported the SSAC in its efforts to address the issue of Name Collisions, while encouraging clarity on the SSAC's bidding process for work contemplated under the Draft Project Plan. ICANN Reserve Fund: Proposed Replenishment Strategy [community.icann.org] [community.icann.org] [community.icann.org](https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Workspace%3A+ICAN...) [community.icann.org]The ALAC supports the overall strategy, with several important conditions related to operational savings, auction proceeds, per-domain registrar fees and revenue. Release for Registration one .COM Domain Name with a Single-Character Label: O.COM [community.icann.org] (https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Workspace%3A+Rele...) Given the lack of both stability and competition concerns, the ALAC believes the introduction of O.com represents no downside to end users. The ALAC further suggests that the proceeds of the auction be used to make concrete progress on universal acceptance, one of the primary frustrations of end users with regards to the introduction of new top level domains. During this meeting in Panama ALAC members will elect also the new chair since Alan Greenberg term ends by the end of this year. Two candidates are running for this position : Maureen Hilyard Tijani Ben Jemaa The results are expected to be announced this Wednesday. Best Regards, Wafa
