[EURO-Discuss] Things to discuss

[Desiree Miloshevic]

Hi all,

In addition to selecting three most important issues, I would like to 
see Euralo take a lead on getting rid of some outdated gTLD policies, 
such as the 5 day registration grace period - which IMHO does not serve 
any real purpose anymore. I think we can work through ALAC to build 
consensus with other constituencies on this issue before and at the next 
ICANN meeting.

AFAIK, it's currently mostly being exploited by some registrars for 
domain name tastings and not used by registrants. Registrants rarely 
ever make typos when registering a domain name (why the policy was 
adopted, and the registrars that have an issue of collecting payments - 
if the credit card bounces off) have different ways of dealing with that 
issue.

Regarding the meeting suggestions, Sunday, Sept 2nd, 13 - 6pm before the 
IGF meeting in Geneva works for me.

What is the status of the working co-chairs?

Also, some of us should participate in the ALAC working groups on 
various issues, that are going to start working soon.

Nick told me that no request has arrived so far and his argument was, that EURALO had already its regional funding in Lisbon. I told him that in Lisbon, there was no EURALO Board and it would be useful for the Board members, to have at least one F2F meeting before LA.
