The attached statement [PDF, 169K] was originally composed by Sébastien Bachollet, Vice-Chair of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) based on input received from the five At-Large regions (RALOs) and Vanda Scartezini, ALAC Liaison to the Board of ICANN.
The RALOs discussed the Draft Strategic Plan during their monthly teleconferences and online and drafted five individual regional comments in advance of the At-Large community call on the Strategic Plan held on January 15th 2010. The regional comments on the Draft Strategic Plan are linked to an online workspace on Strategic Planning.
This draft Statement was made available for community review on January 18th, 2010. The Chair of the ALAC asked the Staff to start a five-day online vote on the final revision of the ALAC Statement on the Draft ICANN Strategic Plan 2010 – 2013 (the present document) on January 21st and submit it to the public consultation on the Draft ICANN Strategic Plan for 2010- 2013 on behalf of the ALAC with a note that the document is currently undergoing the internal ratification process.
The online vote resulted in the ALAC unanimously endorsing the Statement with a 15-0 vote. You may review the result independently under: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=uzKMLnhG6MNUNFLPgZRi.
On January 27th 2010, the Staff person responsible for the public consultation on the ICANN Strategic Plan was informed about the result and the Statement was also transmitted to the ICANN Board of Directors.
