view on next round new gTLD program outlook from the ALAC for the ICANN
Board</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Olivier,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The Board is aware of all the reviews that are currently being
done. Certainly no decision will be made about the next round without
the input from these reviews.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>There are strong views being made to the Board about the need to start
the next round. I think you can make an educated guess on where it is coming
from. Rather than listen to one group, the Board would like to have a
"sense" of the matter from all groups. A snapshot of the sense
of the community in time if you will while we wait for the results of the
reviews.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If you choose not to provide input to the Board at this time on the
matter, that is entirely up to you. In my personal view, you would give
up an opportunity to share what you think, which would be a pity because
it gives more room for other views to stand alone without counter
balance.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The formulation of the guiding questions is mine, based on what I
think the key contention points would be. In a sense, it is what I
think are aspects of what would be valuable for the Board to hear
from the ALAC plus other aspects that you think are important.</DIV><BR>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Best regards,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Rinalia<BR>

<DIV text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Dear Rinalia,<BR><BR>I must admit that
I am very surprised with the language used in your request and the questions
that are asked. There are currently several processes which need to complete
before a "next round" is even thought of. The CCT-RT and the "New gTLD
Subsequent Round PDP" are very careful indeed in not presuming that a next
round is going to happen, yet the language which you use in your email
appears to point toward the fact that the Board is already intent on
starting a "next round". Worse still it asks the unbelievable question of
whether we should set a target date to work towards to initiate a next
round? That would indeed be the best way to repeat all of the mistakes that
were done in the current round and to irritate more governments and end
users. The issue of a "next round" is so unwelcome at present that if the
term "next round" is used in the CCT-RT, they need to put a dollar in a
virtual swear box as a penalty.<BR><BR>Judging from your email, I am in fear
that the Board, in its current wisdom, is far removed from understanding the
current greed and lack of public interest found from the current round of
new gTLDs. I am flabbergasted.<BR><BR>Kindest
regards,<BR><BR>Olivier<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>Dear ALAC,
<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>In Helsinki, the Board
will meet to discuss the outlook for the next round of the new gTLD
Program. To support our discussions, we would like to be informed by
stakeholder views.<BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>I have been requested to
obtain the view of the ALAC. Would it be possible for the ALAC to
provide a snapshot of its views on this topic in one slide? Please
note that this information and presentation format would be applied to
each stakeholder group's views.<BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default><BR>Some questions to
guide you:<BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>1. Initiation of next
round - do you think a date should be identified so that ICANN has a
target to work towards? <BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>2. Requirements for
round initiation - what do you think should be in place before the next
round is initiated?<BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>3. Improvements - what
elements of the new gTLD program should be improved for next round?
<BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>4. Other aspects that
are of concern to the ALAC?<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>For the Board to have a
chance to review the slide before its discussion, it would be good to
receive the slide by 23 June 2016 latest.<BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default><BR>I do understand that
this is short notice. If you do not have sufficient time to develop
a formal position, informal input would be sufficient at this time and it
would be appreciated.<BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>The Board is likely to
revisit the topic again during its workshop in September. There is
thus another chance to provide a more extensive view, but for now the
Board would just like to have a sense from the community on the topic to
guide its early deliberations. <BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>Thank you in advance and
apologies for the short notice. <BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>Best
regards,<BR><BR></DIV>
