Councillors, Please see below some additional explanations by Olivier on the way ALAC plans to proceed with this. Olivier, please acknowledge the GNSO's request that the report either be sent to the Board after we have had a chance to approve it, or failing that, that the report bear the caveat that the GNSO has not approved it yet. Please also let us know what ALAC thinks of this request and whether you feel you can accommodate it. Thanks, Stéphane Le 6 mai 2011 à 20:56, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond a écrit :
Dear Stéphane,
further to our telephone conversation, let me confirm the timetable that the ALAC is expected to follow with regards to the Joint Applicant Support (JAS).
The ALAC expects that this week-end, it will receive a copy of the JAS group report, which it understands will be a "Second Milestone Report" rather than a "Final Report". That report will be put on-line for At-Large members to comment on, until May 9th, 22:59 UTC, the date at which the ALAC will take the comments into consideration. With comments included, it is expected that the report will be sent to the Board on that day, with a 5 day ALAC ratification vote taking place soon after. This is standard ALAC procedure. The May 9th deadline was given to the ALAC by policy Staff as the latest date material has to be received, for the Board to be able to consider it in their Retreat on the 20-21st May.
I trust that this sheds some light on "what happens next".
Warm regards,
Olivier Crepin-Leblond ALAC Chair
