Dear Tanzanica, The At-Large staff has the honour to transmit to you the ALAC Statement on the Proposed ICANN Meeting Dates 2014 - 2016 on behalf of the At-Large Advisory Committee. The attached Statement was drafted by Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the ALAC, and Cheryl Landon-Orr, Vice-Chair of the ALAC. The Statement is based on comments received from the Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs). On 3 March, the At-Large Staff sent a call for regional comments on the Proposed Meeting Dates to the regional At-Large members. On 9 March, the enclosed statement was submitted to the public consultation process on the Proposed Meeting Dates 2014 2016 with a copy going to the Secretary of the ICANN Board of Directors. As this is a formal Statement of an Advisory Committee to the Board, we provide it by copy hereby to the Secretary of ICANN for distribution to the Board with our compliments. The ALAC welcomes any comments the Board may wish to make by reply. -- 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
