Dear Bart, The At-Large staff has the honour to transmit to you the Statement on the Draft Final Report on Policy Aspects Regarding Introduction of Single Character IDN TLDs on behalf of the At-Large Advisory Committee. The document was originally drafted by James Seng, member of the At-Large Advisory Committee and published on 12 December 2010. The first revision of this statement (the attached document) incorporates suggested modifications by the members of the ALAC Executive Committee. On 24 December, the Chair of the At-Large Advisory Committee, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, asked the At-Large Staff to start a five-day online ALAC vote on the document. The online vote ended on 28 December and resulted in the ALAC endorsing the statement with 13-0 votes. Edmon Chung abstained from participating in this ballot due to his previous engagement in the creation of the Draft Final Report on Policy Aspects Regarding Introduction of Single Character IDN TLDs. You may review the complete vote result under: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=1508Z3mi38mH3YDdc5Nyb5hh The ALAC welcomes any comments the joint ccNSO and GNSO IDN working group 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
