[ALAC] Fwd: [council] FW: [Correspondence from Steve Crocker] PICs and Category 1, Safeguard 1-8 TLDs

Wed Mar 23 10:43:00 UTC 2016

Dear Alan,

thank you for your follow-up on this matter. It is good to see that,
after so much time going around playing cat and mouse and turning in
circles, things are actually moving. I can't say that I am 100% pleased
because I deplore the fact that so much time was taken to make us lose
our time whilst contracts were being signed in the meantime -- which
leaves a bitter after-taste. I am also worried in the back of my mind,
that this is another way to kick the cork ahead a few more months,
years, to keep us running after it.

But let's remain positive! So we're set on a two-pronged track:
- CCT-RT
- PDP on next gTLD rounds

In my opinion, we need to keep the same group of people to support BOTH
tracks, otherwise I am pretty sure that the issue will be quietly
dropped between the two tracks... as things sometimes are. How are we
going to strategize this? Which working group in ALAC will follow this
closely and support our representatives in both the Review Team and the
PDP Working Group?
- New gTLD Working Group?
- Registration Issues Working Group?
- Newly established Public Interest Working Group?

Looking forward to your kind reply.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
