At-Large Staff – in close collaboration with ALAC Chair Olivier Crépin-Leblond and the eight Co-Chairs of At-Large Improvements Working Teams (WTs) A, B, C and D – originally composed this ALAC/At-Large Improvements Project Milestone Report [PDF, 535 KB].
On 27 September 2011, a first version of this status report was presented to the ALAC during its September meeting and was posted on the At-Large workspace: ALAC/At-Large Improvements Project Milestone Report Workspace. On the same day, a call for comments was sent to the ALAC-Announce mailing list.
No comments were received from At-Large members via this workspace. Numerous comments were received from At-Large members via e-mail, telephone and Skype, however – in particular from ALAC Chair and WT C Co-Chair Olivier Crépin-Leblond, WT C Co-Chair Tijani Ben Jemaa and WT D Co-Chair Dev Anand Teelucksingh.
In incorporating these many comments into this Report, numerous successive versions of the Report were created by At-Large Staff.
The final version of this Report (attached here) incorporates these comments and other feedback received from the At-Large community. It has been carefully reviewed by ALAC Chair Olivier Crépin-Leblond and At-Large Staff to ensure this.
On 9 October 2011, ALAC Chair Olivier Crépin-Leblond requested that the At-Large Staff begin a five-day ALAC ratification vote, starting on 9 October and closing 14 October 2011, on this Report. The results of this vote were 9 in favor, 3 against and 1 abstention.
The At-Large Staff submitted this Report to the ICANN Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) and Board on 11 October 2011, for their review during ICANN's 42nd Meeting in Dakar. Once the ALAC vote on the document closed, Staff informed the SIC and Board of its results.
