The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated.

WG: [ALAC-Internal] Informal exchange of views with the Board: suggested memo.

Dear all, first of all, I would like to thank Jean-Jacques for this excellent idea and input regarding the upcoming Dakar meeting with the ICANN Board.
