Dear IDN Working Group and ALAC members: Tina Dan at ICANN had a look at the draft statement, and thought I should advise you of the following, which she thinks may be a misunderstanding: In 7-8-9, where it appears the ALAC is understanding the Module 7 revision to be that there are no outstanding issues. In fact all outstanding issues related to financial considerations, relationship between ICANN and manager, and variant management are still outstanding, hence the supporting papers. We simply provided supporting papers as opposed to keeping these long discussions in Module 7. It is correct that we did not add link to the supporting papers in the Draft Implementation Plan. This was difficult to do because of the posting deadlines and instead we posted all papers together at: http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-31may09-en.htm I hope this is of use to you. Of course if you have any questions related to the above, I'm sure Tina would be happy to help. -- -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA DD: +1 (310) 301-8637 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
