Posting this again, as the message sent earlier to the list was copied to more than three so not posted. Thankyou. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sivasubramanian Muthusamy <isolatedn@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 4:15 PM Subject: inter constituency meetings on IDN at the Seoul Meeting. To: ALAC Working List <alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, idn-wg@atlarge-lists.icann.org, At-Large Worldwide < at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: At-Large Staff <staff@alac.icann.org>, Tina Dam <tina.dam@icann.org>, Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel@icann.org> Hello CLO, I have earlier proposed that ALAC proposes a full day of meetings, organized as inter-constituency meetings, focused on IDN, to resolve pending issues and conclusively expedite the process of IDN TLD implementation. Though not submitted as an alac comment, the suggestion was sent as an introductory statement to the alac comments on the 3rd revision of the Draft Implementation Plan. "With the view to expeditiously complete the IDN related tasks, it is proposed that ICANN incorporates in its agenda for the Seoul meeting a full day of meetings to focus on IDNs, scheduled as inter‐constituency meetings attended by invited experts, staff and finance committees to resolve all pending issues related to IDN Policy and pave the way for implementation." http://forum.icann.org/lists/ft-implementation/pdfXrLMi2klCu.pdf As the schedule for the Seoul Meeting is drawn up, may I request that this proposal be passed on to other constituencies and also to the team that is working on the schedules? The IDN meetings could be organized as inter-constituency meetings on Wednesday, 28th October. In one unified session all constituencies could together review developments so far, and arrive at solutions for all pending issues - technical, cultural, political, financial and administrative- related to IDN implementation. (Other pressing business of different constituencies could be discussed in concurrent sessions) Thank you Sivasubramanian Muthusamy ALAC IDN Liaision.
