It is my plan (which I expect ExCom to endorse at our meeting next week, so we can start activity to formalize ASAP before the ALAC Meeting at the end of this month) to take this important (dare I say landmark) Joint Statement through the same endorsement and Vote process that we did with the various Summit statements... So that it becomes a piece of formal ALAC Policy Advice and then send it to the BOARD as advice from the ALAC which we can do at any point in time but will be useful as they consider the outcomes of the 'roadshow' process re IRT that is about to start... This also means that whilst not altering the delivered Joint Statement text per se, we can add to strengthen and make ALAC At-Large specific points (e.g. add the specific endorsement from ALSes and RALO's etc.,) and any additional comments and notes as appendixes to the Joint work done Ad-Hoc at ICANN 35... I also want specific input from the talent pool IRT WG we put together (*so can STaff ensure this goes out to that list*) as well and will ask that the 'Commons' we set up for these activities, be used for the 'At-Large Comment period' on it so we can get as much individual input as possible (in any language) this said it means RALO's and ALSes need to mobilize to get these additional / supplementary POV's ready to go... I will also write to Robyn/ NCUC formally to let them know what we are doing how we need to do it and that ancillary work to the statement may end up being attached to our final ALAC Advice to the Board...

Dear Colleagues: If only because I find it offensive to reason, I have raised before now my strong opposition to elements of the IRT Report, especially this matter of globally-protected marks. The University of the West Indies ALS has also made a public comment to the consultation.
I believe it would be instructive and encourage all LACRALO ALS go to the wiki and endorse this joint ALAC-NCUC statement.
Kind regards, Carlton Samuels The University of the West Indies

Dear All, today is the deadline for presenting Public Comments at the ITR Report. This is the link: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#irt-report You may remember that ALAC has been very active at Sydney (and before)
about this, where this document was made: https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?statement_of_the_alac_on_the_irt_s_...
In fact, at the Public Forum, Cheryl (ALAC Chair) and Robin Gross (NCUC
Chair) provided a statement together.
I particularly consider interesting the advice provided by Carlos
Aguirre (he has been insisting in this since Paris Meeting, when New GTLD were announced), that you will find at the comments in the link I posted above. Personally and algo from a legal perspective, I consider this advice as an important alternative in order to avoid legal conflicts.
During this week we will be providing some feedback from Sydney and
working with the Agenda.
Warm Regards,
Andrés Piazza LACRALO Chair _________________________________________________________________ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows
