Re: [NA-Discuss] FW: Regional Advice for Papergate

Hello folks. Having just been accepted myself, I was hoping to avoid weighing in heavily on this, but I'm concerned. KnujOn was very engaged in ICANN activities for a long time before applying for At-Large membership. I gather from the conversation there is scant evidence of how Papergate has been involved in ICANN activities or how they would use the ALS status? ------------------------------------- Collect, analyze, enforce, repeat...

Asking for approval of Summit WG3 report (new gTLDs)
by Evan Leibovitch April 7, 2009

April 7, 2009

Hello all, I'm coming to one of those moments of pure exasperation. At the Summit, I was involved in working group 3 -- new gTLDs. My WG -- like all of them -- worked hard and long hours to craft a consensus that included not only critique but concrete recommendations for progress. The result of this work is at https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?statement_on_new_gtlds_application… We knew at the time that ICANN had imposed a deadline of April 13 for comments to revision 2 of the gTLD guidebook. I have been desperately asking ALAC for some process in evaluating the work to date, suggesting changes, and submitting the result in time as an endorsed document. To this end, I attended the last ALAC conference call and practically begged for some indication that this was being taken seriously. So far I have heard nothing from anyone except for 1) Un-helpful comments from staff that suggested our credibility was at risk because of unnamed people whose views we hadn't considered. Weeks have passed since this staff threat was issued, yet none of the unnamed has stepped forward. 2) A timetable offered by the ALAC executive, proposing a consultative process that ends one week after the deadline has passed: https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?at_large_policy_development_schedu… I have personally heard from a number of individuals, and I have indicated their concerns in comments at the bottom of the WG3 wiki page indicated above. I am hoping to word-craft some text that will address these concerns. I also recall Beau stating that he had some comments but I haven't heard any details yet. In the meantime, I would like to know if I can ask for NARALO endorsement of the document, in light of ALAC's absence of action (and the breaking of a personal promise by its Chair). At this point I am asking for a tentative endorsement while I word on wording to address the concerns raised in my comments underneath. - Evan

News: Google to increase push to IPV6

An interesting story, if for no other reason than to call more attention to the growing scarcity of IPV4 numbers: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10204391-92.html There's even a dedicated Google page on its IPV6 efforts (which include instrutions on how to access its IPV6 services): http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/ - Evan

Hi all, Andres Piazza forwarded the following link to me: http://mm2.icann.org/transbot_archive/e6dbc6bf91.html LACRALO is discussing this right now to see if they are going to support it and was wondering if NARALO would want to do something similar. Discussion? Thoughts? D Darlene A. Thompson CAP Administrator Nunavut Department of Education/N-CAP P.O.
