<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>[ I've modified the
distribution &amp; added both new gTLD WG list &amp; ALAC list - when you
reply, you might get a bounce from the new gTLD list if you're not in the WG
but staff will do the magic to unlock you message ]<br>
<br>
Just a few notes:<br>
- the Preliminary Issues Report is long (147 pages) but needs to be read
thoroughly.<br>
- the draft ALAC Statement addresses only those points which Carlton and I felt
were important to address. If you see anything else in the Preliminary Issues
Report that requires our attention, please flag it as soon as possible so we
can add it.<br>
- I know that some in our community are saying: &quot;no more new gTLDs / ban
on new gTLD rounds&quot;, or &quot;no more new gTLDs until we see a
demonstration that the first round has served the public interest&quot;. <br>
Please note that the current issues report says that the default is that the
program *will continue with a next round*. Having spent time on the gNSO
council participating in the discussions, it is clear that there is a very
strong pressure from Contracted Parties and some parts of the Non-Contracted
parties (some of whom might be interested in being part of the next application
round) that *want* a next round to take place *as soon as possible*. Unless you
are ready to enter a trench war with the GNSO, I would not recommend that we
ask for an outright indefinite ban on new gTLDs -- because since the working
group will be a GNSO working group, we'll all end up being completely ignored
from day 1. Carlton and I have therefore taken the stance that if there is
going to be another round, *all* the issues identified in the issues report,
and other issues we have pointed out, need to be both studied and resolved.
Even that is going to be a very hard point to defend, but it is absolutely
worth defending - if/when the working group gets under way, please take part in
the WG.<br>
- If the At-Large Community would like next round of new gTLDs promoting
applicants from developing economies, the ALAC might need to support a next
round sooner rather than later.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
