Firstly I have included in the body of this message a copy in full, of a formal request from the President of the GNSO's Intellectual Property Constituency, Mr. Steve Metalitz, requesting ALAC specific input into this process in a very short time frame (we will add this to the Agenda for our March 24th ALAC Meeting) and pointing out the opportunity for individual (here I encourage also ALSes and RALO's to also respond directly) submissions to be provided directly to *ip-issues@icann.org*<ip-issues@icann.org>.
Secondly two suitably qualified ALAC Members (in their individual capacity) have offered themselves to the IRT as Members these are Mr. Beau Brendler, and Ms. Vanda Scartezini, I would like at the ALAC Meeting to endorse these two IRT Members as formal representatives of the ALAC to this WG, and encourage discussion in the ALAC Working List regarding this matter prior to our discussion of this as an Agenda item at te March meeting as well...
I'm a little confused by this.
<CLO>Evan as far as I knew the deadline to propose members of the IRT was Friday, 13th March, and by the PDT time allocated I knew only of the names of Beau and Vanda being out forward... The IRT *is* looking fore Public Comment as outlined in the letter I got from Steve where he asked for specific ALAC input... If there is updated or different information circulating then I am not privy to that...
Beau brought up this issue at today's NARALO conference call and said that the IRT was looking for public participants. Is this need satisfied by the appointment of Beau and Vanda? Is your call only for members of an ALAC subcommittee or is the IRT looking for other participants?
<CLO> My call was specific to getting participation into an ALAC WG and that is deliberately set at a lower level of participation than what I understand the IRT per se is asking for... Hopefully we can get at least 2-3 people from each Region able to commit enough time to support Beau and Vanda as ALAC endorsed Reps to the IRT (I hope) as well as assist in formulating the basis for Regional and ALAC comments on the matter...
(I say this because I committed to help find more participants in the NARALO call; I'd just like clarity on the nature of the potential recruitment. Beau had mentioned that the committee was looking for a pretty heavy time committment amongst its members.

<CLO> I hope you and each of the leaders in the RALO's can do the same either for the Ad-Hoc ALAC WG I am proposing OR on the IRT per se if my information is incorrect... I hope this helps perhaps Staff can confirm whether my assumptions on this have been correct or not...
