These ALAC Comments to the NTIA were discussed during the July meeting of the ALAC and developed from wiki-based draft materials and text that were open to public comment and input until the end of 28 July, before transmission to the NTIA. They will become a 'Statement of the ALAC' when ratified by an online vote of the ALAC during early August 2011. At that time, a courtesy copy of the Statement in the standard format and with the ICANN staff cover page/Introduction, etc. will be forwarded under separate cover to the NTIA for its records and archived in the ICANN/ALAC documents store for future public record and review. On behalf of the ALAC, I thank you for giving us the opportunity to comment on functions as important as IANA's. I remain at your disposal should you need any further explanation on any of our Statement's contents. Yours sincerely, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD ALAC Chair CC: Ms. Cheryl Langdon-Orr, ALAC Vice-Chair Mr. Evan Leibovitch, ALAC Vice-Chair ICANN At-Large Staff
