To be clear, the report initially went from Rafik to the ALAC and GNSO Chairs and to GNSO/ALAC staff only. A second copy in PDF format was sent to the same recipients (plus ALAC Executive Committee) by Carlton a bit later.

Neither of these versions had the cover page or Summary on it that you see in the final version that Stéphane forwarded to the GNSO. Those sections were added by Olivier to make it more presentable. The cover sheet says "This Report is submitted for consideration to the ICANN Board and ICANN community." and the Summary says "This report is submitted to the Board and is currently undergoing ALAC ratification." Both of those statements are accurate, as a report that was at that time coming from the ALAC.

To correct another misunderstanding, the report came to the ALAC and GNSO chairs at the same time. The ALAC had decided at its last meeting to submit it to the Board prior to review in order to make the document cut-off for the Board retreat, with the understanding that the ALAC *would* be reviewing it and commenting (potentially positively or negatively) well before the Board retreat.

The procedure was explained by e-mail from Olivier to Stéphane prior to taking place and this explanation was forwarded to the GNSO Council list - http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg11229.html.
