Dear Kurt, Christopher, James, Matias, Roxana, John, Cheryl and Raul, I am writing to you on behalf of the ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC). I wish to thank you for your applications to participate in the Affirmation of Review process. All applications have now been posted on the ALAC Wiki at https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?volunteer_aoc_review_team_applicati.... At its meeting on February 23, 2010, the ALAC decided to ask all candidates seeking our endorsements to address two questions. Specifically, we ask that you each provide a statement of why you believe: 1. that you are in a position to fairly assess ICANN's accountability, transparency and the focus on the interests of global Internet users; 2. that you will be able to do this from the perspective of the global ICANN At-Large Community and the ALAC. If you believe that you have already addressed these questions in your original application, no additional statement is required. In that case, I do request that you confirm receipt of this message. ALAC endorsements are due by early next week. Since the majority of the ALAC is meeting at the Nairobi ICANN meeting this week, our intent is to make a final decision on endorsements Friday morning, Nairobi time. Accordingly, we request that you reply by Thursday, March 11 at 10:00 UTC (approximately 48 hours from now). You may send any replies to me directly at alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca. Regards, Alan Greenberg
