23/02/2010 - First report on the status of the working group.

In the past weeks I've been working together with Ron Sherwood (ALAC liaison from ccNSO). Since Seoul, we tried to have questions and comments on our project proposal reflected by the ccNSO. So far no specific questions nor comments have been made.

Recently I prepared a draft of a questionnaire which would be send out to our ALSes in order to have a view on the existing relationships between ALSes and ccTLDs. The draft has been reviewed by Ron Sherwood with some extra items.

The following list of questions should be discussed during the Nairobi meeting. We will present this questionnaire and the work-out plan during the Sunday meeting.

All comments, remarks and add-ons are welcome.

Proposed questionnaire to our ALSes :

Have you approached the ccTLD and suggested a collaborative arrangement? Yes - No

Has the ccTLD approached your ALS and suggested a collaborative arrangement? Yes - No

IF the answer to either of the above questions is Yes:

  • Has there been any request, or offer, of technical outreach or education (namespace or ICANN) for the community?

Are you involved in your country's ccTLD business?

  • on a daily basis;
  • once in a while;
  • none

Are you, as an ALS, a member of the ccTLD in your country ?

  • a voting board member;
  • a non-voting board member;
  • not a member;

Reason for not being a member :

  • geographic distance
  • limited knowledge of ccTLD working process
  • ccTLD does not allow external collaboration or membership
  • another ALS is already a member

Are you a partner of the ccTLD ? Yes - No
If yes, what is the relationship between your ALS and the ccTLD ?

  • regular meetings
  • exceptional meetings
  • occasional events

How often do you meet with the ccTLD ?

  • monthly
  • quarterly
  • twice a year
  • once a year

Are members of the ccTLD board members of your ALS ?

Is the ccTLD in your country a :

  • private company
  • NGO (Non Government Organization) – non profit organisation
  • public company (government involvement)
  • governed by government only

Does the ccTLD in your country work with NGO – civil society ?
What is the cost of registration for a ccTLD domain name ?

  • free of charge;
  • cost per year;
  • cost several years
  • cost for life time

Would your ALS like to be more closely involved in the activities of the ccTLD ?

  • as a partner in activities or events
  • as a board member of the ccTLD
  • as the representative organisation for the citizens

Do you think the ccTLD is open to a closer collaboration with ALSes ?
