ICANN participation

Members of the At-Large European Regional Organization (EURALO) created a brochure [PDF, 677K] for purposes of increasing awareness of EURALO within Europe. Included in the EURALO brochure are the key issues EURALO members are working on, including the introduction of new generic top level domains (gTLDs), trademark issues, internationalized domain names (IDNs), and the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. The brochure will be used to facilitate EURALO outreach activities.

The ALAC endorsed the At-Large Structure (ALS) Application from NEXTi-Organização das Executivas de Tecnologia da Informação e Comumicação with a 13-0 vote and no abstentions.

NEXTi is based in Sao Paulo, Brazil and will be a certified ALS of the Latin-American and Caribbean Islands Regional At-Large Organisation (LACRALO).
