Hi Sivasubramanian, Thanks, sounds good. I mostly wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding there, and I think we are now on the same page. Also, I agree that the links should have been incorporated and if we were not on such a 'fast track' then maybe this could have been possible. Tina Tina Dam Sr. Director, IDNs ICANN Cell: +1-310-862-2026 Office: +1-310-301-5838 From: Sivasubramanian Muthusamy [mailto:isolatedn@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 5:07 AM To: ALAC Internal List Cc: cheryl; idn-wg@atlarge-lists.icann.org; Tina Dam; Bart Boswinkel Subject: Re: [ALAC-Internal] Draft Statement on IDN Fast Track Proposal v3 Hello Tina The points raised in point 7,8,9 in the ALAC draft comment in reference to the absence of links to documents etc. are general, minor observations, and to be taken as a suggestion for maintaining the completeness of the draft implementation report. It was NOT implied that this is a serious omission, nor implied that there was any reason for any intent. The draft comments may please NOT be seen as directed to IDN staff, and certainly there was no misunderstanding about staff / working groups that would have compiled the third revison of the plan on which the draft comments were prepared. Thank you Sivasubramanian Muthusamy IDN liaision.

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<mailto:nick.ashton-hart@icann.org> Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com<mailto:ashtonhart@hotmail.com> / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com<mailto:nashtonhart@mac.com> / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart _______________________________________________ ALAC-Internal mailing list ALAC-Internal@atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:ALAC-Internal@atlarge-lists.icann.org> http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac-internal_atlarge-lists....
