greetings...

attached are two draft statements for the ALAC response to the new gTLD
workbook and process.

I have given up trying to upload these to the wiki, thought I knew how but I
guess I don't.

I will be leaving town for a few days' vacation returning the evening of
Weds. Jan. 7. I could possibly answer questions then but will not really be
available between now and then. Unless I am mistaken,though, there have been
no submissions on new gTLDs since the last phone conference).

Attached are two documents: some suggested overview statements that ALAC
might want to make, and then a line-by-line specific document, which
generally though not completely follows the guide that was sent around. In
it I addres modules 2, 3 and 4 only, with "consumer issues" only. These were
written in conjunction with or in mind of some of the NCUC's statements and
the two U.S. government letters to ICANN in December.

Some of the elements really need some discussion! Like auctions and so
forth. I'm not sure everyone on ALAC will be comfortable with some of these
statements but here they are from my perspective as a member of NA RALO.

I hope also that we have taken note of the fairly big controversy the new
gTLD application has created, though this was perhaps not a surprise.

Subject: Guide to creating response to new gTLD workbook

Greetings.

Several people worked on this since Cairo, so rather than holding on to it
any longer I wanted to send it out to a broad group. It's a sort of guide to
creating a draft document response to the new gTLD workbook. Only a guide!
It's meant to be read in conjunction with the document itself to suggest
areas in which the user community might want to elaborate (or not). For it
to be most useful you still need the workbook document handy. For instance,
there are things we've since discussed on various lists that aren't in this
guide, for instance, from Danny:

"Working one's way through module 2 (the Applicant Information Form
section), there is one question that is glaringly missing:
"Indicate whether (i) the applicant or any of its (ii) officers, (iii)
directors, or (iv) managers:
a. within the past ten years, has been convicted of a felony or of a
misdemeanor related to financial activities, or has been judged by a court
to have committed fraud or breach of fiduciary duty, or has been the subject
of a judicial determination that is similar or related to any of these;
b. within the past ten years, has been disciplined by the government of its,
her, or his domicile for conduct involving dishonesty or misuse of funds of
others;
c. is currently involved in any judicial or regulatory proceeding that could
result in a conviction, judgment, determination, or discipline of the type
specified in (a) or (b); or
d. is the subject of a disqualification imposed by ICANN and in effect at
the time of this application.

So, for instance, we should decide where we want to put that in.

In addition to some of the NCUC comments I have sent out over the last 24
hours or so, here are some URLs of others' perspectives on new gTLDs.

After the call on Friday, I would like to propose a time for the working
group to meet and discuss its responses to the attached document, to the
discussion on the lists, and other matters, so that we can work up a
statement by the deadline, which I believe has now been extended to Jan. 7
(we will clarify this in Friday's meeting).

Staff, may I ask that you translate this message into French and Spanish and
distribute it so that we can get maximum community involvement.

Thanks

Beau Brendler
