Dear Colleagues,

As you may know, our Operating Principles require an affirmative vote of
70% of the accredited ALSs from North America to become operational.
Prior to today's announcement, we were just one vote short of the 70%
requirement. Since the vote is still open -- and will continue to be
open until we have either 70% approval or 30% rejection -- I believe we
should look for 70% of the new total of ALSs. I understand from Nick
that the new organizations have been following the discussions. I hope
they will be in a position to vote as soon as possible.

For those of you who abstained because you did not have time to review
the documents, please take the time today, this weekend, or as soon as
you are able, to review the documents again. We would like you to
consider changing your abstention into either an express approval or
disapproval of the Operating Procedures and Code of Conduct. (Links in
footer below).

If you haven't yet voted, all you need to do to vote is send a message
to the "official" North American list at na-als@atlarge-lists.icann.org
identifying yourself, your organization, and saying "yes," "no," or
"abstain" with regard to the (1) Operating Procedures, and (2) Code of
Conduct. If you could copy me at bfausett (at) internet.law.pro, I would
be grateful.

Please let me know if you have any questions. We are almost there!

Bret
