New gTLD Review Group

Action Items

5 RG members agreed to have the statements sent to the RALOs for review.  

If the RG releases statements, it has to be available to respond any questions. 

Each RALO has to look at EACH of the 5 new gTLD applications and their corresponding objection statements and for each application, whether the RALO supports the corresponding objection statement being filed by the ALAC.

There are 2 options for the RALO only:

Do you support statement: YES/NO

If at the end of next week when the 5 RALOs have responded YES/NO to each objection statement, and more than 3 RALOs have expressed support for filing the objection statement, then the ALAC has to conside such advice by the RALOs. Objection statements against applications NOT supported by 3 or more RALOs will no longer be considered.

Idea: Staff to organize a call  on Thursday, 28 Feb with RALO Leaders for a Q& A session with RALO leaders so that they are briefed on the course of action, expected answers from RALOs. Doodle should include one or two choices between 19:00-21:00 UTC (for one global call) or two calls for Western/Eastern hemispheres.
