Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), originally composed this statement [PDF, 102 KB], based on the recordings and meeting notes of the following:
- The 16 August 2011 ALAC Executive Committee Teleconference.
- The 23 August 2011 ALAC Teleconference, when Kurt Pritz was invited to speak to the ALAC. The matter yielded a 30+ minute discussion with the ALAC on this subject.
- The 25 August 2011 ALAC Executive Committee Teleconference, following-up on the ALAC call.
Prior to those calls, the ALAC had been asked to familiarize themselves with the contents of the plan.
The At-Large staff created a wiki workspace on 23 August 2011. This was updated on 28 August 2011 and a final call for comments was circulated to the At-Large community.
On 29 August 2011, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, incorporated the final comments received from the community – based on the At-Large comments both entered onto the wiki workspace and received by email. The resulting statement is presented here.
On 29 August 2011, Olivier Crépin-Leblond requested that the At-Large staff begin a five-day ALAC vote on this statement.
On the same day, this ALAC Statement was transmitted to the public comment process, with a copy to the ICANN staff member responsible for thispublic comment topic, with a note saying that the document was currently undergoing ALAC ratification.
