Dear all, The below announcement of the ALS vote was supposed to be sent out to you last Wednesday but got stuck in my outbox unfortunately. There are currently 11 out of 15 ALAC members who voted on the first question and 9 out of 15 ALAC members who voted on the second question. The vote closes on October 14th. Regards, -- Matthias Langenegger At-Large Coordination Officer Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: matthias.langenegger@icann.org Main Tel: +41 (79) 644 65 35 Fax: +41 (22) 594 85 44 Skype ID: matthiaslangenegger Dear all, Cheryl asked us to set up an online vote for the ALAC on two new ALS applications ready for accreditation: the Foundation for Building Sustainable Communities from Ontario, Canada and Internauta Chile. You can download the application by clicking on the following URL: 114 FSBC: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/files/atlarge/fbsc-en-10jul08.pdf 115 Internauta Chile: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/en/files/atlarge/internauta-chile-en-23jul08.pd... The ALAC members will shortly receive a separate email with their voting credentials. NARALO decided during their August meeting that positive regional advise would be given for FBSC if no contrary opinions were received on the mailing list in the following week ( https://st.icann.org/naralo/index.cgi?summary_minutes_11_august_2008). No such comment was sent to the list the following week. LACRALO advised to approve the application during their monthly teleconference on September 18th. ( https://st.icann.org/lacralo/index.cgi?meeting_summary_18_september_2008_en) The two questions to be put are: 1. Should the regional advise from NARALO for applicant (114) Foundation for Building Sustainable Communities (FBSC) be rejected? The regional advise was to accept the application. 2. Should the regional advise from LACRALO for applicant (115) Internauta Chile be rejected? The regional advise was to accept the applications. Possible answers are Yes, No and Abstain, whereas -"Yes" means that you would like to reject the application -"No" means that you would like to accept the application This vote remains open until the next ALAC meeting on October 14th at 1400 UTC (the ALAC meeting starts at 1330 UTC). It is not anonymous. Please contact the Staff if you have additional questions. Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Matthias Langenegger, Frederic Teboul ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff@atlarge.icann.org
