Dear Speakers,
 
On behalf of the at-large community, I thank all of you for kindly accepting our invitation to speak at the ALAC Policy Priorities Workshop on June 28. Please refer to our workshop wiki page at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?28_june_2007_ws for the detailed information. You may find that we draft a couple questions to make the discussions more focused. I'm sure the representatives from five RALOs will have more questions.
 
At-large community has huge interest in IDNs. We cherish the opportunity to talk face-to-face with you regarding this cut-edge issue. Although we will be very interested in your presentations, we do hope we could spend more time on dialogue.
 
Looking forward to welcoming you all
 
Sincerely
 
Hong
ALAC IDN Liaison
