Two radio shows of note to follow. I was a guest on David Lawrence's Online Tonight last night, talking about 'the law of podcasting' and other legal stuff. I was on for the last hour of the show and stuck around afterwards to do his podcast (MP3 recording here).

And tomorrow morning I'll be a guest on the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC (New York Public Radio) where the subject will be WGIG, WSIS and "Internet Governance."

Posted below are a series of podcasts from today's ALAC meeting.

The most notable, the first, is a report from Roberto Gaetano (19.0 MB), the ALAC's Liaison to the ICANN Board. The report provides a little transparency on the recent issues that have come before the Board, including the new sTLDs, the strategy for new gTLDs, and the .NET award.

The second report, less notable, is a report from the ALAC's Liaison to the GNSO (that's me) (6.8 MB). It includes a short overview of the GNSO's work on Whois and upcoming issues such as a strategy for the introduction of new gTLDs.

The next three podcasting sessions are the actual work of the ALAC  (Session 1 (18.6 MB) | Session 2 (42.1 MB) | Session 3 (24.0 MB)). These include discussion of the new web site, the approval process for At Large Structure applications, a presentation from the .MOBI team, WHOIS, and a discussion with the Non-Commercial constituency of the GNSO.

Here is a better version of yesterday's new TLD workshop. I've raised the sound levels to make most of the session more clear. If you downloaded this file yesterday, you'll want to get this new version instead.

Attached are two MP3 files in podcast form on new TLDs. These programs took place this afternoon at the ICANN meetings in Luxembourg.

The first podcast (39.4 megabytes) is a roundtable discussion with Ray Fassett (.JOBS), Stuart Lawley (.XXX), Phillip Shepard (Business Constituency), John Levine (ALAC), Ross Rader (Registrar Constituency), and Olaf Nordling (ICANN).

The second podcast (27.6 megabytes) includes presentations on the path forward from Olaf Nordling (ICANN) and Phillip Shepard (Business Constituency), followed by a question and answer session.

ADD: Here's a link to Olaf Nording's Powerpoint presentation.
