    Dear Steve,<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    I am pleased to inform you that the At-Large Advisory Committee
    (ALAC) has ratified the following ALAC Resolution:<br>
    <br>
    -- start of resolution --<br><p>WHEREAS the ALAC has long supported the 
requirement of reducing
      barriers to Top Level Domain (TLD) creation in developing
      economies; and <br class="atl-forced-newline">
    </p><p>WHEREAS the ALAC has co-chartered the Joint Applicant Support
      Working Group (JAS WG) and welcomed the participation of many
      At-Large members in its activities; and <br class="atl-forced-newline">
    </p><p>WHEREAS the ALAC has reviewed and endorsed earlier milestone
      reports of this Working Group; and <br class="atl-forced-newline">
    </p><p>WHEREAS the JAS WG has produced a Final Report for consideration
      by the ICANN community that has been reviewed by At-Large; <br 
class="atl-forced-newline">
    </p><p>RESOLVED THAT the ALAC endorses the Final Report of the JAS
      Working Group and urges the ICANN Board to implement its
      recommendations; and <br class="atl-forced-newline">
    </p><p>RESOLVED THAT the ALAC thanks the community volunteers and ICANN
      staff whose work contributed - and continues to contribute - to
      the advancement of the JAS WG mandate.</p>
    --- end of resolution --<br>
    <br>
    With 14 out of 15 ALAC members voting, the ALAC vote result was 14
    in favour, 0 against and 0 objections.<br>
    <br>
    The resolution is therefore carried unanimously by the ALAC.<br>
    <br>
    You may review the process by which the ALAC vote took place on
    page:<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" 
href="https://community.icann.org/x/9gKpAQ";>https://community.icann.org/x/9gKpAQ</a><br>
    <br>
    Please be so kind to find a copy of the JAS Applicant Support
    Working Group Final Report enclosed for your immediate transmittal
    to the ICANN Board. I trust that this will become a key item on the
    Board Agenda.<br>
    <br>
    Please find also enclosed, appended below my email, the
    correspondence I have received from Stéphane Van Gelder, GNSO
    Council Chair, indicating that the GNSO Council has approved a
    motion to forward the final Report of the JAS WG to the ICANN Board
    for review. Details of the motion found below.<br>
    <br>
    Finally, let me remind you that volunteers and staff have worked
    very hard throughout the summer in order to have this report ready
    for the ICANN Board to have enough time to initiate the process by
    which its recommendations will be adopted by the Board during the
    ICANN DAKAR meeting. The Community has responded to the Board's call
    for action in Nairobi and in Cartagena. The Board must now respond
    equally as quickly to the Community's resolve that launching a new
    gTLD programme without Applicant Support would be politically
    incorrect for ICANN.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    <br>
    Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond<br>
    ALAC Chair<br>
