If the ALAC feels it's necessary. I don't.

Thanks very much for being understanding :)
That said, Kieren has come up to me and apologised and has asked to convey his apologies in person at the ALAC meeting tomorrow. I have told him that I will ask the Chair if she wishes to make the time for this but that I had a feeling a number of Members would be happy to hear such a statement.

Hey Nick,
Awesome e-mail. I think that we can all file this away under the topic of "Shit happens" and let it go. If it were a perfect world...
I think that everybody is just getting a little tired and strung out and then things are said that aren't as well worded as they could have been. Blah.
Also, I would like to take this moment to thank ICANN staff. You guys are working your butts off and it hasn't gone unnoticed. EXCELLENT job done by all!

Subject: Re: [At-Large] Comments about at-large/ALAC in ICANN newsletterThere is not yet an online version for me to link to or attach but
here's the exact text in the newsletter:
"Growing pains appeared at the ALAC meeting when representatives of
the regional at large organisations (RALOs) accused the committee of
being poor value of money and operating badly. They then proceeded to
list a number of ways in which they intended to keep the Committee
members to account.
This soon gave way to some constructive dialogue however. Statements
were produced on gTLDs and IDN questions and a resolution passed in
favour of an IDN fast-track. Not unusually the ALAC requested more
resources from ICANN."
I want you all to know that this situation is not reflective of the
view of ICANN as a whole. Denise and I are very aware of this and we
are very sorry on behalf of ICANN.
More will be forthcoming on the subject.
