If yes, please explain.
Enclosed are the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) responses, which have been submitted by the ICANN Policy Team in support of the At-Large Community.
Revised Wording: The RZ-LGR must be the sole source to calculate the variant labels and disposition values for all existing delegated gTLDs.
Reason: Instead of limiting the rec to just gTLDs delegated from the 2012 round, apply it to all existing delegated gTLDs per the charter question.
Revised Wording: Any allocatable variant label of an existing gTLD, as calculated by the RZ-LGR, can only be allocated to the registry operator of the existing gTLD or withheld for possible allocation only to that registry operator.
Reason: Instead of limiting the rec to just gTLDs delegated from the 2012 round, apply it to all existing delegated gTLDs per the charter question.
ICANN org should, from time to time, conduct research that helps identify additional standards or tests that should be used to evaluate the technical and operational capability to manage the variant label set.
The ALAC appreciates and is supportive of the EPDP’s effort in generating a Glossary of terms which explains their usage by the EPDP in shaping its recommendations and implementation guidance. We are comfortable with the descriptions provided, noting that the terms have been presented in a form that would enable relative novices to comprehend them, and that the full, technical definitions are linked to the term.
See attachment for comments on Root Zone - Label Generation Rule (RZ-LGR), Same-Entity Principle, Application Fee Regime for Variants, and Glossary (glossary comments are also mentioned in this form).
The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) appreciates the opportunity to provide its comments on the Phase 1 Initial Report of the Expedited Policy Development Process on Internationalized Domain Names (“EPDP on IDNs” or “the EPDP”) while noting that the ALAC’s appointed participants in the EPDP have been actively engaged in the work of the EPDP.
In general, the ALAC supports the preliminary recommendations and implementation guidance proposed by the EPDP in its Phase 1 Initial Report, and wishes to highlight specific comments of support and concerns.
These specific comments are attached as a PDF to supplement the ALAC’s responses submitted via this guided form.
