Dear all, thanks again to all those (17) who have responded to the recent ALAC ALS Survey 2010. I know, it’s not always easy besides your daily work to find some time to answer to such a variety of questions.

As I took part in ALAC’s ALS Survey Analysis Team, I had the opportunity to go through the results from our region, and I can provide you with the preliminary findings we prepared for the next ICANN meeting in Brussels; see PPT-presentation attached for your info. Let me take the opportunity to invite you to our next monthly EURALO call that will be organised again in the frame of the up-coming ICANN meeting.

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
