Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG)
Recently Ratified by the ALAC (since last ALAC-Monthly meeting)
Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Regional Strategic Plan for FY2021-2025 LACRALO Statement
The LACRALO statement was in response to the ICANN Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Regional Strategic Plan for FY2021-2025. As all LACRALO countries fall under the LAC Regional Plan, a diverse drafting team from the region provided feedback on strategy topics such as security, ICANN governance, unique identifiers system, geopolitics, and financials. Note: Ratified by the LACRALO Leadership Team and the ALAC.
ccNSO PDP3: Initial Proposals for Process to Retire ccTLDs
As a whole, the ALAC supports the ccNSO PDP3. From an end user perspective, the ALAC suggested two points to be considered: 1) As a user of the Internet, the removal of a TLD will mean less likelihood for confusion as usually a ccTLD would be removed to make way for a new one. This enhances Trust in the domain name identifiers; 2) As a domain name registrant, the retirement of the ccTLD could pose a problem when correspondents are accustomed to use the "old" address using the obsolete ccTLD. Some companies have built a brand around the "old" ccTLD.
Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) Study 1: Proposed Final Report

Draft PTI FY21-24 Strategic Plan

ICANN Africa Regional Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025 AFRALO Statement
