[alac] ICANN regions

["Roberto Gaetano" <roberto@xxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,
This year a revision of the ICANN regions should take place, since the last
one was done in Montreal, 2003, and according to the ICANN Bylaws the
revision shall take place every 3 years.
Although the matter has not come up in Board discussions, I would expect a
decision to be taken in Sao Paulo.
In view of this deadline, the ccNSO has launched a questionnaire
(http://survey.icann.org/cgi/ccnso/) to poll the ccTLD managers about their
opinions.
I wonder whether ALAC should open a similar discussion, and gather Internet
user (and ALSes) input on the subject, in order to present a position
reflecting consensus points, if any, and Internet users concerns.
 
Regards,
Roberto Gaetano
