Introduction

Alan Greenberg, ALAC member from the North American Regional At-Large Organization (NARALO) and ALAC Liaison to the GNSO composed an initial draft of this Statement [PDF, 232 KB] after discussion of the topic within At-Large and on the Mailing Lists.

On 21 December 2013, this Statement was posted on the At-Large DNS Security & Stability Analysis Cross Community Working Group Report Workspace.

On 24 December 2013, 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 7 January 2014, a version incorporating the comments received was posted on the aforementioned workspace and the Chair requested that Staff open an ALAC ratification vote on the proposed Statement.

On 14 January 2014, Staff confirmed that the online vote resulted in the ALAC endorsing the Statement with 14 votes in favor, 0 votes against, and 0 abstentions. You may review the result independently under: http://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=3629kcStp4heVQI2ufLUa2vM
