Introduction

Alan Greenberg, ALAC member from the North American Regional At-Large Organization (NARALO), ALAC Executive Committee member, and ALAC Liaison to the GNSO composed an initial draft of this Statement [PDF, 64 KB] after discussion of the topic within At-Large and on the Mailing Lists

On 26 June 2013, this Statement was posted on the At-Large Thick Whois Initial Report – GNSO Policy Development Process Workspace.

On that same day, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the ALAC, requested ICANN Policy Staff in support of the ALAC to send a Call for Comments on the draft Statement to all At-Large members via the ALAC Announce Mailing List.

On 18 July 2013, this Statement was discussed in the ALAC & Regional Leadership Wrap-up Meeting. During that meeting, the draft Statement was discussed by all present At-Large members, as well as those participating via Remote Participation.

The Chair of the ALAC then requested that a ratification vote be held on the Statement. Staff then confirmed that the vote resulted in the ALAC endorsing the Statement with 10 votes in favor, 0 votes against, and 0 abstentions.

You may review the result independently under: https://community.icann.org/x/7FB-Ag.

The Chair then requested that the Statement be transmitted to the Public Comment process, copying the ICANN Staff member responsible for this Public Comment topic.
