Dear All, As you are aware, ICANN is about to embark on a review process as required by the Affirmation of Commitments. A Draft Proposal on how the reviews should be conducted has been issued and the public comment period closes on 31 January (see: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#affrev). A call for review team members has also been issued (see: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-13jan10-en.htm). In order to have an ALAC statement submitted to meet the deadline, the ALAC officers have drafted a proposed statement which can be found on the ALAC wiki at: https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?alac_comment_on_aoc_processes . Please review this document and use the comment function to indicate your support as well as any additions/changes. It is very important that this be done by Monday, 25 January 23:59 UTC. A revised version will be issued prior to the ALAC meeting on Tuesday, 26 January for a brief discussion. A formal vote will begin the following the day. It is extremely important that the ALAC provide their comments on this important process within the time-period specified.
