Dear all, First of all, thousands of thanks to all, who sent me your words of support and care! We need it very much in Ukraine just now. I will do my best to participate in EURALO monthly teleconfernce call, but we are now under threat of communication blocking( That is why I am sending my contribution to this call beforehand. 5.

According to Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program ( https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=41900609) each RALO can apply for 5 trips to be end until June 30 2014.

Then RALO leaders and RALO's members of the Outreach SubCommittee (Roberto, Wolf, Yulia) have to submit travel requests (according travel requests form https://community.icann.org/x/_S6fAg) 8 weeks before the beginning of each trip.

WG: [ALAC-Announce] Decision of International Chamber of Commerce on ALAC objections to .HEALTH

Just FYI - with regards, Wolf Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond sent Mon, 20 Jan 2014 22:30: >Forwarded email from Seth Reiss: > >ALAC Members: > >On 16 January, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) issued two >decisions authored by ICC panelist Professor Jan Paulsson finding >against the objections that had been lodged by the ALAC pursuant >Attachment to Module 3 of Applicant's Guidebook. The ALAC had submitted >three objections under the Community Objection ground outlined in Module >3, each against an applicant for the .health string, based in >substantial part upon concerns voiced and information received from the >International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA). In the case of >one applicant, dot Health Limited, the applicant withdrew its >application prior to the case being decided leaving only two ALAC >objections to be decided. The remaining two cases were consolidated and >decisions issued 16 January 2014. Copies of those decisions are attached. > >Professor Paulsson found against ALAC on the issue of standing, as well >as on each of the four criteria, set forth in Subsection 3.5.4 of the >Guidebook, required to sustain an objection on community grounds. The >decisions, which are substantially identical (perhaps appropriate for >consolidated cases) are full of opinions and innuendo, that makes for >good reading but leaves one to wonder how the ALAC could have lodged >objections that had any chance of succeeding, which in turns begs the >question of the Guidebook's purpose in authorizing and funding the ALAC >to lodge objections in the first place.
