Dear Colleagues: The list for participants in the Global At-Large Summit and those members who would have received travel support from ICANN is now published. As you would have noticed, some of our members in good standing are not on this list but are still eligible to participate in the LACRALO GA scheduled for that period and location. Remote participation is expected to be available but this might be a challenge for members. I am therefore proposing that the community agree to proxy voting at the GA. Proxy voting is defined as a written authorization from one LACRALO member THRU the Secretariat advising their proxy to another member by midnight EST 28th February, 2009 or 0500 UTC 1st March, 2009. Please indicate agreement by replying YES or NO to this message. Alternately, staff will be requested to set up a online poll that shall remain open until the time indicated above. Kind regards, Carlton Samuels LACRALO Secretariat
