Dear Kurt, The At-Large staff has the honour to transmit to you the Statement on the Draft Final Guidebook on behalf of the At-Large Advisory Committee. This statement was originally prepared on November 20 by Evan Leibovitch, Chair of the At-Large gTLD Working Group, at the request of ALAC. Version 2 was prepared on November 23 based on input from a community meeting. Minor changes made afterwards, based on input of community members. On 7 December, the At-Large Advisory Committee approved the statement on the Proposed Final Applicant Guidebook during its policy session II on 7 December 2010 with 12-0 votes and no abstentions. -- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff[at]atlarge.icann.org website: www.atlarge.icann.org
