[APAC-Discuss] [APRALO-Policy] Call for Comments by 29 May 2021 to the APRALO Statement on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Final Outputs for ICANN Board Consideration

Wed May 26 14:31:13 UTC 2021

Thank you Justine for encouraging and supporting the development of this
submission on behalf of APRALO. You have shown our community exactly why we
should all have a say on issues where the results of an ICANN decision
could impact our Internet end users in the AP region whose statistics
clearly demonstrate WHY we should care.

Thank you to the small group for your contributions to the three criteria
that were selected for specific mention in this document which I encourage
all APRALO members to read and to comment as to whether you support it or
not, and if so why. In this way you are truly having an input into policy
issues that impact our region. Justine and the small team would really
appreciate the support of the APRALO community for these issues.

I have one comment to make to help my understanding of the community
objections  issue.  Would it be possible to include an example of an
objection that APRALO might have made regarding this issue, to clarify the
importance of our RALO input into this  part of the applicant support
process?

Regards
Maureen
