[EURO-Discuss] Reminder & dial-out?/ EURALO monthly meeting - Tuesday 25 February 2014 at 1900 UTC

Wed Feb 26 00:20:39 UTC 2014

Hello all,

as a follow-up to this - the matter was discussed on the EURALO call
tonight during the Policy Development part of the call.
The ratification of the ALAC motion is for opening an ICANN-wide public
comment period specifically about those proposed Policy Advisory Boards.
So there is going to be a Public Comment period open about the subject,
where Christopher, and I hope many others in Euralo, will be able to
post a comment about the PAB proposal/concept. This Public Comment
Period will also allow individual GAC members to be able to comment on
the matter too, just like all members of the community.
Kindest regards,

Olivier

>>> 2.	Should anything like this go ahead, the costs of PABs must be fully born by ICANN, NOT by the new gTLD applicants. Should ICANN wish to recover the costs from the gTLDs concerned, that is their affair.
>>>
>>> 3.	"PAB applicants who are NOT accepted … " Oops! Who, exactly is going to be doing the accepting, or not of the membership of these PABs?
>>> 	So, we might also have a 'neutral third party' ombudsman lurking in the background.  Again, if we go down that road, ICANN should pay all costs, and eventually recover from the gTLDs concerned.
