All, a quick follow-up: this is a *3 DAY ONLY* Vote. Due to the need for a fast turn-around on this, because the JAS work is running under such tight schedules to the extent that every day matters, we will be advising the GAC to send the statement to the Board as soon as the ALAC vote has reached a quorum of "yes" answers. Your fast action on this is would really be appreciated! Olivier On 03/08/2011 23:16, ICANN At-Large Staff wrote :

Dear All,

The Chair of the ALAC, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, has requested the Staff to start a three-day ALAC vote on the Joint Statement of the GAC and the ALAC on the Second Milestone Report of the Joint Applicant Support Cross-Community Working Group (JAS-WG).

Members of the ALAC received an email with their voting credentials a couple of minutes ago.

The question to be put will be the following:

***** Do you support the ratification of the Joint Statement of the GAC and the ALAC on the Second Milestone Report of the Joint Applicant Support Cross-Community Working Group (JAS-WG) for communication to the relevant Public Comment process?

With possible answers: Yes No Abstain

*****

You can review the Joint Statement of the GAC and the ALAC on the Second Milestone Report of the Joint Applicant Support Cross-Community Working Group (JAS-WG) at: https://community.icann.org/x/iwBLAQ

The Vote will remain open until Friday 05 August 2011, 16:00 UTC.

After you have submitted your vote online, you should receive an email confirmation. Please inform staff@atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org><mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> if you do not receive a confirmation so that we can check whether your vote has been recorded. Also, if you are experiencing technical problems and are unable to vote online, you can send us an email. As long as you send us your votes before the close of the vote, we can add them as paper ballot votes.

There is a link entitled 'See who voted' at the bottom of the voting page, which allows you to see who has voted so far.
