Dear Joan Dzenowagis,

Thanks for your email. By reply I am posting this to other members of
the gTLD Review Group (gTLD RG) in charge of coordinating the process
by which the ALAC can object to new gTLD applications (see PDF at
http://bit.ly/how-ALAC-files-objection-to-new-gTLD for a summary of
this process)

Currently, 5 objection statements are undergoing Regional At-Large
Organisation (RALO) review and all can be viewed at this page :
https://community.icann.org/x/soxwAg

Discussion by the RALOs on the applicants and the objection statements
can be viewed on the RALO mailing list archives
NARALO :
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/na-discuss/2013-March/thread.html
APRALO :
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/apac-discuss/2013/thread.html
LACRALO :
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40931651
(web page)

Any comments you wish to send re: objections statements will be
uploaded to the appropriate webpages for the objection statements for
viewing by the At-Large community as well as the ALAC which will be
considering the RALO advice on Friday March 8 2013. Any such comments
should be sent before the ALAC call on Friday March 8 2013.


Kind Regards,

Dev Anand Teelucksingh
gTLD RG chair

> Dear Dev, I'm aware that there are questions about the above objections, some of which relate to WHO. We would appreciate the opportunity to address them directly, as some of the assertions by an applicant are inaccurate and/or misleading and this must be corrected. As you know, we have previously written to ICANN about our concerns and we are working within the ICANN process as we understand it. A number of global NGOs also share our concerns and have asked how they can support the objection. I would appreciate your guidance on how they can do this.
