<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dear Hiromitsu, <br><br>Thank you for alerting us to these 3 ICANN Public Comment Proceedings.<br><br>Dear APRALO Policy Forum members, <br><br>Please be informed that presentations are being arranged for SSAC representatives to attend upcoming <b>At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG)</b> call(s) to discuss the subject matters for <u>(1) Proposed Top-Level Domain String for Private Use</u> and <u>(3) Draft NCAP Study 2 and Responses to Questions Regarding Name Collisions</u>. Therefore, I would suggest that all APF members who are interested in either of these topics to monitor the agenda of upcoming CPWG calls and attend those accordingly. <br><br>Subsequent to that, I invite members here who think there is need for a RALO-level statement for either or both topics, to propose so on this mail list. Otherwise, we should participate and provide inputs towards any ALAC statement(s) to either or both topics.<br><br>As for (2) Phase 1 Final Report of the EPDP on Internationalized Domain Names, this may warrant a short statement which I propose to address in a separate email.<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><br><font color="#000000">Kind regards,</font><br><font color="#000000"><br></font><b>Justine Chew</b><br><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Chair, <a href="https://community.icann.org/x/TwDQC" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff"><b>APRALO Policy Forum</b></font></a><br><a href="https://calendar.app.google/zPXMVZgVihygftrA7" target="_blank">Schedule a call with me</a><br>-----</font></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 30 Jan 2024 at 10:44, Hiromitsu Higashi via Apralo-policy <<a href="mailto:apralo-policy@icann.org">apralo-policy@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-211823205278466178">
