Councillors,

Please find below the NCSG's suggestion on a message which I could send to the Chairman of the Board in my capacity as Chair of the GNSO.

Thanks Mary for providing this draft.

Please let me have your comments.

Hi - sorry for the delay in getting back to you on the Council letter; there has been some lively discussion among some NCSG folks about it.
 
We suggest the following draft:
 
Dear Peter,
 
We understand that ALAC has forwarded to the Board the Joint SO/AC New gTLD Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG)'s Second Milestone Report. As the other chartering organization of the JAS WG, the GNSO Council notes that it has not yet approved the Report. We acknowledge the Board's desire to move forward with new gTLDs, including issues relating to applicant support, and hope to provide the Board with our advice and recommendations as soon as possible.
The GNSO Council would also like to inform the Board that it appreciates the JAS WG's scrupulous observance of the chartering process, in submitting its Report simultaneously to ALAC and the GNSO for review.
 
I would be grateful if you could convey the GNSO Council's message to the Board.
 
Best regards,
Stephane van Gelder
Cheers
Mary

Dear all,  
The At-Large staff has the honor of transmitting to you, on behalf of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC):
  • The Second Milestone Report of the Joint SO/AC New gTLD Applicant Support Working Group ( JAS WG), with a revised ALAC introduction (entitled “Status of this Document”); and
  • The Statement of the ALAC on the Joint Applicant Support Second Milestone Report.  
We request that these documents (attached here) be forwarded to the members of the ICANN Board.   
The Second Milestone Report was received by the ALAC and the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) on 7 May 2011.  Then, the At-Large staff, on behalf of the ALAC, initially forwarded this Report to the Board on 9 May 2011.  Please note that the Report itself has not been substantively changed since the Board initially received it on 9 May.
During the period 7–13 May, comments on the Report were collected from the At-Large Community.  These comments are the basis for the Statement of the ALAC on the Joint Applicant Support Second Milestone Report attached here.
The ALAC ratification process for the Second Milestone Report and the ALAC Statement will begin on 14 May, and the results will be forwarded to the Board.
           
Please note that GNSO approval of this document is being conducted independently and has not reached the approval stage. 


Regards,

Heidi Ullrich, Seth Greene, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber-White, and Marilyn Vernon
