Dear Kurt, The At-Large staff has the honour to transmit to you the ALAC Statement on the Final Report on Three-Character Requirement and Variant Management on behalf of the At-Large Advisory Committee. As noted in our message to you from January 11th, 2010 the Chair of the ALAC asked the Staff to start a five-day vote on the document starting that day which resulted in a 11-0 vote in favour of the document. You may review the result of that vote online under: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=c9ugF5EHNCvswhTQcxIx The attached version of this document (revision 1) was prepared by James Seng on January 10th, 2010 and incorporates comments received on the original version which made available for At-Large community feedback on December 19th 2009.. You may find a comparison of the two documents under: https://st.icann.org/idn-policy/index.cgi?action=revision_compare&page_name=... 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, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff[at]atlarge.icann.org website: www.atlarge.icann.org
