Dear Edmon, In your capacity as ALAC IDN Liaison, Olivier Crepin-Leblond, ALAC Chair, has asked that you, in collaboration with the At-Large IDN WG, draft an initial ALAC statement on the Initial Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs <https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Initial+Report+o n+Universal+Acceptance+of+IDN+TLDs+Workspace+-+2012> . The public comment period for this issue closes on 7 February 2012. In order to have a 5 day comment period and a 5 day vote, a draft statement would need to be prepared by 20 January. Given the tight time-frame, staff have added this issue to the agenda for tomorrow's IDN WG call under Next Steps. Would you like staff to organize a call of the IDN WG next week to develop this statement? Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie Peregrine ICANN At-Large Staff E-mail: staff@atlarge.icann.org
