Dear At-Large Community members: I have been asked by Beau Brendler, the ALAC focal point for the work of the Registrant Registrar Relations working group, to post for community comment the draft ALAC Statement on the RAA Amendments Consultation. The draft statement may be viewed online at: https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?alac_statement_on_raa_amendments_al _alac_st_0808_2. If you wish to comment, please use the comment button at the top of the page to make your views known. ALAC Chair Cheryl Langdon-Orr has advised us that she proposes that the ALAC vote upon the statement in its meeting on 9th September. Therefore, in order to provide Beau and his coworkers on this statement time to review and incorporate comments from the community, he has asked that comments be made before midnight on 7th September 2008.
