Dear European and African ALS representatives: The signing ceremony for the two regions, as well as a recognition of the conclusion of the Asia Pacific region's MoU, will be held at approximately 1230 on Thursday as part of the main Public Forum of the ICANN Lisbon meeting. More details will be posted on the regional Wikis and also on the main ICANN meeting website at www.icann.org/meetings/lisbon. Suffice to say that the signing will include a formal ceremony, webcast and scribed live, interpreted into French, Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese, which will be also be recorded and available afterwards. The ALS representatives who are signing the MoU will be invited onstage to sign, their name and ALS name announced, shake hands with Paul and Vint, and photos made available afterwards of each ALS rep as well as the regional group. Those ALS representatives not present to sign in Lisbon will be provided a mechanism to adhere to the MoU without a physical signature. African representatives are electing their regional officers -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
