Dear All, During the last ALAC Teleconference, the members of the ALAC discussed the possibility of submitting a formal ALAC Statement to the public consultation on Expressions of Interest in New gTLD. Although the ALAC came to the conclusion that there would not be enough time to go trough the formal At-Large Policy Advice Development Process (see www.atlarge.icann.org/policycalendar) the Committee noted that they encourage interested At-Large members to submit individual Statements on this consultation. You can find further information on this public consultation and on how to submit a comment under the following URL: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#eoi-new-gtlds -- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordstrom ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff at atlarge.icann.org
