Below is the agenda for the Board's May meeting. Assuming there's power this time, I will be on the call. Please let me know if there are items on which ALAC or members would like views expressed. Can you please help me to understand before then the final status of the ALAC's participation in the triangle GNSO proposal? Was there ALAC ratification? Does ALAC have views it would like advanced in the discussion of GNSO improvements?
