Att: Heather Dryden - GAC Chair

Dear Heather,

further to our brief discussion yesterday, please be so kind to find
attached the August 2013 Statement the ALAC sent to the Board New gTLD
Program Committee (NGPC) regarding the Preferential Treatment of
Community Applications in String Contentions.

The reply from the NGPC received by the ALAC was published on:
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/alac/2013/007330.html

The response from the NGPC rejected the point made by the ALAC that
applications with demonstrable support, appropriate safeguards and
strong emphasis on community service should be accorded preferential
treatment in the new gTLD string contention resolution process.

The ALAC is concerned that the matter of Public Interest is being
dropped in the treatment of Community Applications in String Contention.
The final choice of successful gTLD applicant being an Auction and
therefore only involving commercial power does not, in our view,
necessarily serve the Public Interest.
On behalf of my Community, I hope that your members will be able to
consider the ALAC's Advice and the response from the NGPC in your future
work, should you decide this is a topic the GAC wishes to address.

Kindest regards,

Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond
ALAC Chair

Dear Steve,
Dear Cherine,

please be so kind to find attached the "ALAC Statement on the
Preferential Treatment for Community Applications in String Contention".

This Advice is provided to the Board before ALAC ratification due to its
time sensitive nature. It should be read in conjuction with our "ALAC
Statement on Community Expertise in Community Priority Evaluation", sent
under separate cover. At-Large Staff will confirm results of the ALAC
vote when it is concluded.

Please be so kind to confirm receipt and consideration of its contents
in the discussions of the Board new gTLD Program Committee.

Best regards,

Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond
