Summary of RALO advice to the ALAC regarding the 5 objection statements to new gTLD applications

March 7, 2013

      Dear All,

As per the process by which the ALAC can object to a new gTLD
application, (see one page PDF at
http://bit.ly/how-ALAC-files-objection-to-new-gTLD ),
RALOs have submitted advice to the ALAC on the objection statements on
community grounds to 5 new gTLD applications.
These objection statements were prepared by the gTLD Review Group
(gTLD RG) based on the outcomes of its review and discussion
of comments received by February 8, 2013 (see
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/at-large/2013q1/009493.html)

The 5 applications and objection statements, including the comments
received by the gTLD RG on the applications
can be found on the workspace at https://community.icann.org/x/soxwAg
with 5 separate wiki pages for
each new gTLD application, the objection statement and the comments
received by the gTLD RG.

The RALO's advice to the ALAC were in the form of answers to the 5
questions listed at https://community.icann.org/x/t45wAg
with the possible answers of either
* Yes, support the filing of the objection statement by the ALAC
against applicant,
* No, NOT support the filing of the objection statement by the ALAC
against applicant OR
* Abstain

Objection statements NOT supported by at least three RALOs will not be
considered by the ALAC.
For those objection statements that are supported by three or more
RALOs, the ALAC will decide whether to file such
objection statements to the Dispute Resolution Service Provider (DRSP)
before the end of the objection period on March 13, 2013.

Summary of RALO advice:

3 out of 5 RALOs supported the filing of the objection statement by the ALAC
against applicant "DotHealth, LLC" for the ".HEALTH" string
(https://community.icann.org/x/t4xwAg)

3 out of 5 RALOs supported the filing of the objection statement by the ALAC
against applicant "“Goose Fest, LLC" for the ".HEALTH" string
(https://community.icann.org/x/v4xwAg)

3 out of 5 RALOs supported the filing of the objection statement by the ALAC
against applicant "dot Health Limited" for the ".HEALTH" string
(https://community.icann.org/x/xYxwAg)

3 out of 5 RALOs supported the filing of the objection statement by the ALAC
against applicant "Afilias Limited" for the ".HEALTH" string (
https://community.icann.org/x/y4xwAg )

1 out of 5 RALOs supported the filing of the objection statement by
the ALAC support the filing
of the objection statement by the ALAC against applicant "Stable Tone
Limited" for the ".健康" (jiankang) string

Therefore, the ALAC will have to consider the filing of the objection
statement against:
- applicant "DotHealth, LLC" for the ".HEALTH" string
(https://community.icann.org/x/t4xwAg)
- applicant "“Goose Fest, LLC" for the ".HEALTH" string
(https://community.icann.org/x/v4xwAg)
- applicant "dot Health Limited" for the ".HEALTH" string
(https://community.icann.org/x/xYxwAg)
- applicant "Afilias Limited" for the ".HEALTH" string (
https://community.icann.org/x/y4xwAg)

As the objection statement against the applicant "Stable Tone Limited"
for the for the ".健康" (jiankang) string failed
to get RALO support, this statement will not be considered by the ALAC.

An ALAC meeting to consider the advice by the RALOs is scheduled for
Friday March 8 2013
