   Recently Ratified by the ALAC

   Comment: Proposed Renewal of .asia Registry Agreement
   The ALAC supports the proposed changes to the .asia (DotAsia) renewal agreement, with (3) comments related to universal acceptance (UA), public interest commitments and fees to be paid to ICANN org.

   Comment: ALAC Statement on Registry Agreement Renewals .org, .biz and .info
   The ALAC generally refrained from commenting on these prior proposed Registry Agreement renewals, with the exception of the proposed renewal of the .NET Registry Agreement in 2017. The ALAC in general favors standardizing Registry Agreements as this allows for transparency and predictability, as well as ease of review and compliance monitoring of one standard contract (with necessary but controlled variations through Addendums) instead of managing many disparate/varying contracts. Being supportive of this approach, the ALAC has not objected to the base Registry Agreement, or to its use in prior renewals.

   In respect of the intent to standardize the said 3 proposed Registry Agreement renewals (.org, .biz, .info), the ALAC welcomes the following proposals:

   (i) inclusion of Public Interest Commitments (per Specification 11), 
   (ii) inclusion of Minimum requirements for Rights Protection Mechanisms (per Specification 7), 
   (iii) adoption of the Registry Code of Conduct (per Specification 9), and
   (iv) amendment of the relevant section in Specification 5 to govern the allocation of two-character labels at the second level to avoid confusion with corresponding country codes.

   The ALAC also noted there are differences in opinion within At-Large regarding the omission and quantum of price caps.
