- Adopt the recommendations expressed in the ALAC Statement on the Preliminary Support Implementation Program published December 21 2011
- Phase-in the introduction of new gTLDs gradually, releasing no more than 25 every three months and that each such release be comprised of at least 30% community, support-eligible, "geo-region" or IDN TLDs
- Enable development of a community-devised process to monitor the progress of the releases;
- Commit publicly to contain with due haste any and all elements of the application process demonstrated to cause or allow harm or confusion to registrants, Internet end-users or content/service providers
- that the Board discuss with the ALAC any of the advice
Engage with ALAC to discuss of the above advice considered unacceptable, and to produce a formal reply on the outcome of any such engagementwhich it finds it can't accept and requests a formal reply from the Board on the outcome of any such
