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. 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? (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. - Evan
