[NA-Discuss] FW: [New gTLD RG] PICs posted by applicants "dot Health Limited" and "DotHealth, LLC"

[Evan Leibovitch]

The PICs are new, but they constitute a last-minute attempt to address a
failure to include appropriate commitments or objectives in the original
application. It appears that only the threat of an ALAC objection (and
probably from the GAC too) has led to these last-minute interventions.

In any case, it's a moot point -- for now. APRALO, AFRALO and LACRALO have
approved advancement of the objections against the Latin string
applications. We'll have to deal with this again when the ALAC vote comes,
but for the moment there's no point arguing whether these should or should
not be escalated for ALAC consideration.
