Dear ALAC,

Rinalia had updated us on November 20, 2013, re: CPE:

*"The ALAC sent advice to the ICANN board requesting for preferential
treatment of community applications that fulfill certain criteria precisely
because we knew that an auction as a process for resolving string
contention would disadvantage community applicants with less financial
means than big industry players.  We also urged the Board to ensure that
the Economist Intelligence Unit has sufficient community expertise in its
panel that is tasked to conduct the Community Priority Evaluation (CPE)
because community strings that pass the CPE would be in the position to
knock out competing applications without going to action.  Sadly, the Board
response on these matters has been most disappointing."*

Wonder what the developments and hope that the ALAC will continue pushing
the global public interest in this regard.

Sala
