AI: Annalisa will draft a NARALO position paper on new gTLD and send it to the NARALO mailing list for comments.
In the meeting I had thought this merely meant a statement of support for the AFRALO statement on gTLD support for deserving applicants http://www.atlarge.icann.org/announcements/announcement-24jun10-en.htm In inter-ISOC conversation Annalisa has set me straight - this paper is intended is to be "a similiar document in support of gTLD applicants in the North American Region who may be in need or who are deserving of support. " Since the AFRALO statement was approved by ALAC it doesn't need further endorsement at the RALO level. Subsequent to this conversation I then heard from reclusive Danny Younger noting that he has made an "end-run" proposal for a 'free' .ngo tld on the .int model. http://forum.icann.org/lists/joint-wg-snapshot/msg00000.html Should NARALO also develop a position on this? -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com Secretary - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org ---------------------------------------------------------------
