Dear Hong-Xue, thank you and the ALAC for having me at your meeting here in San Juan.

 

As a first follow up you can find IDN related information at http://www.icann.org/topics/idn - here are all the IDN announcements as well as an RSS feed that you can sign up to, to receive the regular announcements. In particular, this is also where you will find the proposed evaluation plan that I talked about. It is currently the top announcement. As we get the translations finalized we will publish these here as well.

 

Nick and I will stay coordinated so that I understand what additional needs you may have from a staff side – and further please don’t hesitate to contact me for any additional questions that may arise.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tina Dam

Director, IDN Program

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
