Well, Cheryl, no need to apologize. You were right actually. I indeed referred the external link to APRALO https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?APRALO%20comments%20on%20ICANN..., which contains the following comments that are too profound for me to take as a view from APRALO: "ICANN manages the coordination of the Domain Name System and Internet addressing for the benefit of Internet users around the globe. ICANN stands for a single, interoperable global Internet. ICANN is amulti-stakeholder private sector, non-profit organization that administers the Internet’s naming and numbering system with our partners. We provide a key forum for global Internet governance, involving thousands of companies, individuals and government participants. Although our work is mostly unseen by the 1.5 billion Internet users, our small, centralized service is essential to the unity of the Internet. We have 140 employees and annual funding of $64 million In five years, we hope that ICANN’s work is virtually invisible because we have built up high levels of trust in our stewardship of names, numbers and protocol parameters.."

KT  I think Hong is refering to the (rather embarrasing IMO) fact thast at this stage  when you look at either https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?strategic_planning_2010_2013_worksp...  or https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi/index.cgi?community_call_on_strategic_pl... then look at the APRALO link  it is the ONLY one with nothing currently recorded on it ... Which I trust  will be changed before the call starts at 1600 UTC

Hi, could you post those who  "contacted [you] me off list and in Skype" to enlighten the rest of us? I went to the page <https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?APRALO%20comments%20on%20ICANN%20Draft%20Strategic%20Plan>https://st.icann.org/working-groups/index.cgi?APRALO%20comments%20on%20ICANN%20Draft%20Strategic%20Plan but can see none. I wrote on the list so am obviously not included in "those"-:)
