Bulgarian application for IDN ccTLD refused?
by Adam Peake June 2, 2010

June 2, 2010

Interesting thread on the civil society Internet governance list about Bulgaria's requerst for a fast track ccTLD being refused. Apparently .бг was considered likely to cause confusion with .br (Brazil.) See the archive at <http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/arc/governance/2010-05/msg00143.html> Can anyone from ISOC Bulgaria comment? I don't really understand, on a lot of levels. Thanks, Adam

about the At-Large Board Selection Design Team
by Adam Peake May 19, 2010

May 19, 2010

Olivier, Patrick: Thanks for the information about the design team's work on yesterday's call. Seems the team is getting into a mess. ICANN has are rules about conflict of interest that have served the organization pretty well. There are voting and non-voting board members (always have been) with interests in registries/registrars, people who consult on domain name business. A broad statement to guide the BCEC should be enough, don't tie it's hands. Hope EURALO agrees new restrictions are unnecessary and we can quickly give you some support to get the team's work finished with a minimal set of sensible rules. Thanks, Adam

The Process Going Forward: At the end of this Public Comment period, the ATRT will review the comments submitted and prepare a summary analysis of the various submissions.

Dear Ludwig, I answered this questionnaire france@large had not received. Even if voting for some interesting pages was blocked, it was of interest even however it certainly reflects the regimental nature of ICANN and the strategy of its ISC (Industrial Stakeholders Command). Cheers ! jfc

EURALO Brussels planning and next call
by Wolf Ludwig May 13, 2010

May 13, 2010

Dear all, Olivier, Matthias and I met last Tuesday at the IGF consultation in Geneva and used the opportunity for some discussions. In recent time, there were some questions and frustrations raised regarding the next ICANN meeting and our planed EURALO Show case there. Some of our members/ALSes have not understood so far, that there will be *no* EURALO General Assembly (according to our by-laws) there because there will be no funding to invite and bring our ALSes to Brussels. People were asking me “Why EURALO is organising a Show case in Brussels without involvement and participation of its members?” A question or even a contradiction I can perfectly understand when we are planning such a Show case about us without a solid representation of our member orgs. (because most of them cannot afford to join us on their own expenses there!). This is an important issue we have to discuss at *our next monthly call next week and an important point that should be raised by our representative (Adam) *at the next call of the ALAC Finance and Budget Committee. I don’t know how we can solve this dilemma at the moment but, as repeatedly said before, one RALO face-to-face meeting per year is crucial for motivation – involvement – participation of our members. I understand that mere remote participation over longer periods is not enough – and I share the frustrations expressed (mostly informally to me) by several members. I would like to ask Matthias to add this important point on the agenda for our next call. Thanks and kind regards, Wolf comunica-ch phone +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig www.comunica-ch.net Digitale Allmend http://blog.allmend.ch - EURALO - ICANN's Regional At-Large Organisation http://euralo.org
