Following the open consultation period, and factoring in the comments received, the ALAC has submitted its comments on the mid-point consultation report of BGC WG on the ALAC review. They can be found at http://forum.icann.org/lists/alac-mid-consult/msg00008.html and also on our wiki documents page https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?alac_read_only_document_store. An ALAC vote to ratify this submission will begin shortly. Alan (on behalf of Cheryl)
