Alan suggested the use of the gnso liaison list, and that’s
good by me.
Below find a rough draft of an invitation (Dev from the
TTCS in Trinidad wrote it) – let me know if there’s anything we
should add.

The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) has released
a summary of the report on the Introduction of new top level domains for
the At-Large community's consideration and use at the GNSO's New gTLD Workshop
at the ICANN Los Angeles meeting on Monday, 29 October 2007.
This document is meant to provide a concise and easy to read summary of the key
elements of the Report, and is organized to correspond with the Workshop
sessions. At-Large participants (such as the TTCS) are encouraged to consider
the summary, and the Report, and submit questions in advance that they would
like the Workshop panelists to address on the 29th.
The At Large has determined to create a short term working
group to discuss and generate comments for input into the process and
transmission to the Board of ICANN. The Working Group will work via a
mailing list, and interested persons can subscribe to this list at
http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-liaison_atlarge-lists.icann.org
The timeframe for the working group is short, with a deadline of October 25th.
A suggested work plan drawn up by a member of the WG is below. You can see that
the work will be intense, but it is very important.
1) Timeframe of ad-hoc WG: ends on Thursday 25 Oct.
(2) Links to reference documents are provided
(3) The 20 GNSO new gTLD recommendations are cited
(4) WG members will each draft comments on whatever
issues they might have with certain recommendations
(5) Initial comments due by 22 October
(6) First draft of Final Document (incorporating all comments)
by 23 October
(7) Final Document by 25 October
(8) ALAC reviews WG effort in LA and provides Statement
to accompany the Final Document for transmission to the ICANN board.
I hope that you will participate as this is a very
important issue, with serious ramifications for the future direction of the Internet,
and vitally important to individual users.
Below please find links to the relevant documents related
to the Introduction of New Top Level Domains. We will also shortly be creating a
wiki workspace for the working group, but in the meantime, you can find
information on the GNSO Liaison wiki page at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?gnso_liaison.

Meeting
Danny has taken the initiative to round up some members of the
ALAC and I have offered to help him. I think he and this group will be waiting
for word on an open list we can use to do a focused, two-week effort to produce
something worthwhile that can be presented to the board in order to get the
GNSO to reconsider some things in the current document. He suggested that we go
into Los Angeles with this in hand rather than wait (as I was thinking of
doing) until the actual workshop.
So,
Jacqueline, issuing a call to order might be an excellent idea, along with the
appropriate location of a group list that people can use.

Hi, I don't want to sound rude, but I do have to post a call to order -
if the members of the ALAC are so busy that they cannot devote any time
to the single most important policy issue of the next few months, what
do we have an ALAC for?
Perhaps it's just a matter of getting priorities right.
Ciao,
