Dear Colleagues,

As you know there are few countries in the Pacific that are considering redelegation of their assigned country code top level domains (ccTLDs). The ALAC is about to make a statement as all the various stakeholder and constituency groups are being consulted.

There are two documents namely:-

1. Consultation on Delegation and Redelegation of a Country Code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) Performance Standardshttp://www.icann.org/en/resources/cctlds/cctld-drd-performance-15jan13-en.pdf ; 2. Contract SA1301-12-CN-0035 and related documentshttp://www.ntia.doc.gov/page/iana-functions-purchase-order

You can access these documents on https://community.icann.org/x/EgFlAg and you can also see the Draft Statement which we the ALAC will soon vote on. Should you have a position or view on these matters, please let me know asap. You can do so online or offline, that is offlist, whichever you are comfortable with. If you want to discuss this later this evening via skype, we can do so, just let me know.

Thank you.

With kind regards,
