As a part of this effort, I've started holding what I call "Meet Ups" where I make myself available in an informal setting when I travel and my schedule allows. To help ensure as many of people as possible are able to attend if they want, we announce these as far in advance as we can. All you need to bring are your thoughts, ideas, or questions and enough coin to buy your favourite form of refreshment. Here are all the details. If you have any questions, please send an email to my Chief of Staff, Donna Austin <donna.austin(a)icann.org>. Date: 27th January 2010 17:00 to 19:00 local time Place: Buffalo Billiards, Victorian Room, 1330 19th Street, Washington DC 20036 Map: http://tinyurl.com/yakmr9t I hope to see you there!

The original document, which contained four minority issues, was published for community review on December 10th 2009.

Alan then tasked the Staff to start a five-day ALAC vote on the first revision (the attached version of the document) starting on December 14th, 2009. The result of said vote being that the ALAC endorsed the Statement with a 11-0 vote. You may review the result of that vote online under: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=Z4seccyeaIDGchhI2jVm Alan Greenberg also transmitted the document on behalf of the ALAC to the GNSO council during its teleconference on December 17th, 2009.
