<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please find herewith my proposed comment on the proposed procedure for selecting a Top-Level Domain string for private use. It will be discussed in today’s call.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ALAC appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed procedure for selecting a Top-level Domain string for Private Use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The selection criteria provided in the SAC113 “SSAC Advisory on Private Use TLDs” to guide the decision on which string to choose and assist the ICANN Board in making its determination, includes four criteria<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
It is a valid DNS label<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
It is not already delegated in the root zone<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
It is not confusingly similar to another TLD in existence<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
It is relatively short, memorable, and meaningful. <o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, other considerations could be considered such as internationalized versions of the string and strings that are already in use for this purpose. Also, considering that it is not possible to choose a string that will accommodate
the preference of all DNS users, as well as that criteria three and four are subjective and cannot be easily verified through factual tests. The ALAC does not agree that the public comment proceeding for the string only asks the community to verify that IANA
followed the process given, without having the opportunity to comment on the string itself.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ALAC is of the view that allowing the public to comment on the selected string and not only the followed procedure will enable useful input that could support selection criteria three and four and consider all pros and cons associated
with the string selected for private use. Therefore, assisting in people actually using the string and not continuing to use other ad-hoc strings for private use.
