Session Minutes:

The GAC met with ALAC leadership and members and agreed to prepare a joint statement on Enabling Inclusive, Informed and Meaningful Participation in ICANN. This builds on previous work by the GAC and other community members at and since the Helsinki meeting. The joint statement was signed by the GAC and ALAC Chairs, and the GAC agreed to advise the ICANN Board to instruct ICANN Org with regard to its implementation. At the face to face meeting with the Board, the Board noted that it had provided a written statement on these issues earlier in the meeting.

There was also an exchange of views on:

  • The use of geographic names as TLDs.
  • Review of policy on community based applications.
