Dear All, The joint session of the Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations in Sydney was summarized in a one-page <http://syd.icann.org/acso> document that included six issues of most concern to the community as well as seven possible solutions. The ACSO comment <http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#asco> period, which closes 25 September 2009, is an opportunity for the community to discuss that summary in the expectation that pragmatic solutions can be found. This comment period is also notable in that it is being used to experiment with new online collaborative software that is being trialed by ICANN staff in an effort to see if the organization can improve its public comment process. As such, you can email in comments as normal but you will have a far greater opportunity to interact and discuss the summaries as well as propose solution by logging onto the comment period's discussion space. The ALAC Executive Committee at their meeting of 8 September 2009 requested that all interested At-Large community members add their comments directly to the interactive on-line discussion space located at: https://jive.dev.icann.org/community/acso. Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff@atlarge.icann.org
