The comment period on the ALAC draft Advisory on Public Consultations has been extended as a consequence of the late delivery of translations of the text. The draft Advisory recommends a number of changes to the way in which the ICANN Public Consultation process works, with the objective of making it easier for volunteer communities to participate in them. You may read the draft Advisory, and provide your comments, at https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?alac_statement_on_the_public_consul.... Comments will be taken on the draft until 28th August 2009. Spanish and French versions of this announcement will be published shortly. -- Regards, ICANN At-Large Staff Nick Ashton-Hart, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White staff@atlarge.icann.org
