Whois Task Force Liaison (Wendy Seltzer)
Introductory Note
By the ICANN Staff
The At-Large Advisory Committee resolved in its meeting of 14 th October 2008:
On 8 May 2007, the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO formally notified the Staff of ICANN that ALAC had resolved to request an Issues Report on the practice known as "Domain Tasting".
The ability to request an Issues Report is enshrined in the Bylaws of ICANN, in Annex B [insert hyperlink on phrase "Annex B" to http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#AnnexB]. This request marks the first occasion that an Issues Report has been requested by any Advisory Committee in ICANN.
Working Group on GNSO Restructuring Concludes Work - ALAC Working on Related Advisory for ICANN Board - Comments by Community Sought
On 26 June 2008 the ICANN Board of Directors endorsed the recommendations of the Board Governance Committee's (BGC) GNSO Review Working Group, with the exception of the BGC's recommendation regarding GNSO Council restructuring.
The At Large Advisory Committee welcomes the opportunity to provide comments on ICANN's proposed "Establishment of new sTLDs: Request for Proposals."
