Hi all,

Due diligence is now available for the Greater Toronto Area Linux User Group. I do not see anything in the DD that would prevent this group from being an ALS. Please provide your comments on or before our regional meeting of August 10 so that we can move this forward.

Thanks!

Dear Evan and Darlene,

On July 15th, we received a North-American ALS application from the Greater Toronto Area Linux User Group. Please find the Due Diligence form attached.

We kindly ask you to provide us with the regional advice for this application in your capacity as At-Large Secretariat for this region. Your advice will support the ALAC review on this application.

According to our time line for ALS applications the due date for the regional advice is on September 2nd, 2009.

We would like to remind you that the DD form could contain sensitive information. Please read the form carefully before sending it to third parties.

Regards,

I can personally vouch for the group, which I encouraged to join as an ALS. The group has existed informally since the early 1990s, though it incorporated sometime later. I know the people who will be the NARALO reps and I think they will be a great addition. - Evan
