Dear Julie, The At-Large staff has the honour to transmit to you the ALAC Statement on the Interim Report of the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group on behalf of the At-Large Advisory Committee. The attached Statement was drafted by James Seng, member of the ALAC and published for comments by the At-Large community on 1 March 2011. The first revision of the Statement (the attached version) is based on comments received from the Chair of the ALAC Olivier Crépin-Leblond. You can review the changes from the previous version under: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ALAC+Statement+on+Interim+Report... On 7 March, the Chair of the ALAC asked the Staff to start a five-day online vote on the document. The vote resulted in the ALAC endorsing the resolution with 10-0 votes and no abstentions. You may review the result independently under: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=1621tICT34geMhvpjpY6pDP3 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.
