<p class="MsoNormal">1. Is ALAC's position documented anywhere?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. On the CCT Review - Does John's comment refer to ALL CCT Recommendations or to just those prerequisites (as labeled by the CCT Review Team)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">4. The value of precedent within the ALAC...I will flush this one out further by comparing answers from Community Comment 1 and 2.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">1. Updates to Statements of Interest (SOIs): None provided.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Review of summary document: (continued) -- Global Public Interest (<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rwviHM6AYtqDqyB6_5Yij2dTL6iuou8z7A32yzc7sE/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/15rwviHM6AYtqDqyB6_5Yij2dTL6iuou8z7A32yzc7sE/edit?usp=sharing</a>)
– start at Verified TLDs, Page 6<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Verified TLDs:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- Updated the sections on mandatory and voluntary PICs to include divergence from the Public Interest Community and the NCSG.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- The word “likelihood” should be fixed. Edit and check with IPC re: IPC comment and the word “likelihood”. Typo in the original comment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- As as it's been applied a verified TLD is one that verifies the potential registrants meets registry standards prior to registering a domain. So for instance, the registry operator might require registrants to be appropriately credentialed
to practice where they do business. And that's where that implied trust comes in, I think, so that end users can trust that domains in that TLD are going to be authentic. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">CCT-RT Recommendations:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- For absolute clarity, is the ALAC position that the RPM PDP must be completed in its entirety (ie, Phase 1 and Phase 2) prior to next round commencing?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- As a reminder, this WG has a tracking sheet for all of the CCT-RT recommendations aimed at SubPro:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PGV5_nMafLWtSHyCGdr-b8eqoJj9B8YKBSheVJQcvHg/edit?usp=sharing</a>. And it has been updated to take into account what the Board has passed through to SubPro.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just a useful reminder of ALAC’s position as asserted to ICANN GDD at ICANN65:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">-- Can staff please send me [Justine] an AI on the questions being posed with respect to John Laprise's comment? Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Is ALAC's position documented anywhere?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. On the CCT Review - Does John's comment refer to ALL CCT Recommendations or to just those prerequisites (as labeled by the CCT Review Team)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. With respect to the RPM PDP, does John's comment relate to just Phase 1 of the PDP or to both Phase 1 and 2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. The value of precedent within the ALAC...I will flush this one out further by comparing answers from Community Comment 1 and 2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">--- @jeff, in respect of your #4 my immediate answer is what you term as a “precedent”; is not precedent in the actual sense of the word, but ALAC positions are not immune to change with developments over time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- Thanks Justine - This is why seeing the rationale and not just the final position/resolution/outcome is important.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- Jeff, your question #4 seems to assume that, if there is a difference in position between Comment 1 and 2, that somehow this indicates that ALAC has disregarded or “devalued” “precedent.” I don’t think that’s a fair assumption.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- Given that we have only one very high-level articulation of a high-level agreement and many divergent points under outstanding items;, it's not clear to me what our overall objective is in this section. Are we hoping to distill from
outstanding items more points as high-level agreements?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- Thanks, Jeff - looking for commonalites makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- One thing to consider is that the policy goal may not be achievable, insofar as we are not able to work out some explicit implementation matrix (ie, X weighs heavier than Y)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- @Greg- and therein lies the problem. Reaching agreement on a definition has not yet been achieved at the level of international law, so us achieving that here is a big ask.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Freedom of Expression:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- High-level agreement -- Support: May not be accurate. May need a more neutral phrase. Need to provide specific implementation guidance. Need to better define what is meant by “applicant freedom of expression”. Broader term than freedom
of speech.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- Difficult for the WG to develop a definition since it hasn’t yet been done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- High level agreement is that there are freedom of expression rights.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- Start with Implementation Guidelines section on the next call.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
