Hi Danny This is a concern in other places, and ALAC has set up several meetings with ccNSO in San Juan to discuss how we can work together on issues such as this. I don't think that it belongs in the NARALO MoU, but rather is a global issue that ALL regions should work on together.

Has anyone ever seen a detailed redelegation request posted for consideration prior to action being taken by the Board? The .us situation is particularly bad. On the last go-around ICANN bypassed the normal IANA processes to declare an "emergency redelegation" -- see http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-19nov01.htm I certainly don't want the relevant Internet community being kept in the dark should the delegation of the .us namespace become an issue. I would ask that the NARALO MOU stipulate that ICANN has the obligation to inform the NARALO upon the receipt of any relevant ccTLD redelegation request (.us or .ca) so that community input may be provided (as per RFC 1591: "it is also appropriate for interested parties to have some voice in selecting the designated manager.") ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Be a better Globetrotter.
