Nomination for NARALO ALAC Representative
by Thompson, Darlene July 28, 2011

July 28, 2011

Hi all, I would like to nominate Gareth Shearman for the position of ALAC representative. Gareth served an examplary first term. Now that his first term is complete (which often entails a steep learning curve), I would like to encourage him to pursue a second term. Darlene Darlene A.

Joly, If memory serves, the brochure is tri-lingual (or versions in FR/EN/ES are available). If so, I hope you'll find a way to incorporate audio in FR/EN/ES. I don't want to revisit the ugliness of last winter's discussion of what the NA region could, or should encompas, so I'll simply follow the lead of the State of California and Monterey County's Board of Eduction which have been recruiting teachers capable of teaching in the indigenous languages of Mexico. I'll get video with audio in Mixtec or Triqui. Eric

Please consider my nomination to the NARALO ALAC Election
by Eduardo Diaz July 27, 2011

July 27, 2011

All: I want to submit my nomination for the ALAC election. I have been a founder member of the NARALO since its inception in 2007. During this time I have been able to participate in the majority of all conference/ICANN meetings. I was elected for two consecutive years to the NomCom and I successfully put together (with the help of you all!!) a good NARALO show in San Francisco. Currently, I am representing the region in the ccNSO Territory and Country Names Study Group and also submitted my name to volunteer in the WHOIS Review Team. I believe I am ready to work at a level with a wider scope and responsibilities. I have the time and motivation to do the work required at ALAC. Thanks.

what blacknight is doing, FYI

United Domains is still making the offer, and I altered the language in the first paragraph to address the timing issue. > >So far the only comment on this has been from Wendy Seltzer, appended here (the sentence in question appears between brackets in the draft text). > >Wendy's comment: "I agree with the general sentiment of avoiding confusion -- more, and >more accurate information is better.

The NARALO also recognizes that the FTC action at the time was thought by some in the Internet community to be excessive and alarmist. > >Therefore, the NARALO recommends that, through ALAC, ICANN undertake public communication that makes clear what, exactly, consumers and others might expect from "pre-registration." It should be the organization that administers the domain name system, not the agents of domain sale, who should be defining the nature of Internet "real estate" in the public interest. >
