Introduction
Alan Greenberg, ALAC member from the North American Regional At-Large Organization (NARALO) and the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO, composed an initial draft of this Statement [PDF, 50 KB] after discussion of the topic within At-Large and on the Mailing Lists.
On 28 May 2014, this Statement was posted on the At-Large Board Member Compensation Workspace.
On 29 May 2014, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the ALAC, requested ICANN Policy Staff in support of the ALAC to send a Call for Comments on the Recommendations to all At-Large members via the ALAC-Announce Mailing List.
On 06 June 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 12 June 2014, Staff confirmed that the online vote resulted in the ALAC endorsing the Statement with 13 votes in favor, 1 vote against, and 1 abstention. You may review the result independently under: https://www.bigpulse.com/pollresults?code=4037gLs95DzCtS4GCwEUmh3j.
Olivier Crépin-Leblond wishes to go on record as stating his reason for abstention: "I have abstained in my Capacity as ALAC Chair due to a Conflict of Interest when the Statement comments about the level of commitment of SO and AC Chairs."
