there's now the open mike, you might consider a statement there to point out the importance of IDN for AtLarge. I believe that we are also taking remote comments.

The PAC has transferred from the pure technical supervision into a high-level policy coordinative forum. Cerf is now asking GNSO to be aware of the CCNSO IDN policy development in the new gtld process. We should strengthen our participation in this important body. In the public forum, if Jacqueline has sometime, we may briefly mention the IDNs: Draft "ALAC welcomes the new technical and policy developments on IDN. ALAC supports a balanced and reasonable fast-tracking approach on the IDN implementation, and we call for a more effective and formal consultant mechanism with the Internet user community in all the IDN process."

Thanks Will include
I don't want to be picky, but some of us were at the workshop, and both I and Annette expressed some disagreement (personally) with the opinions of the panelists, for example suggesting that this point:
concerns of morality and appropriateness are better left to governments to manage in their own jurisdictions.
might actually lead to more censorship, nor less, encouraging countries to resort to national filters to prevent certain TLDs from being accessed by their citizens. In any case, I don't think that the opinions of the panelists represent an ALAC position, to be stated in public tomorrow, on a matter we never discussed: it's fine to report that we co-organized a workshop, but for what regards substance we should be exposing our collective opinions, not someone else's. So I think that we should rather work out a collective statement on the proposed new gTLD process, in the next few weeks, and stand by whatever common agreement we reach. -- vb.
