[ICANN At-Large Staff]

Dear All,

Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Chair of the ALAC, has asked that a vote be held by the ALAC on the proposed Decertification of Internet Users Network - Tokyo (APRALO).

The following question has been posed to the ALAC:

*****
QUESTION: Do you support the following motion which was made by Alan Greenberg on 1 July 2013 and seconded by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond (both on the ALAC mailing list).

Whereas the official representative of the At-Large Structure: Internet Users Network (Tokyo) has requested that the At-Large Structure (ALS) be decertified as a preparatory step to the Internet Users Network (Tokyo) being dissolved;

Whereas the ALAC has documented the due diligence investigating this decertification as per https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Internet+Users+Network+-+Tokyo+%28APRALO%29+Decertification+Workspace;

Whereas the ALAC allows for such decertification as per Section II.7 of the At-Large Framework Formation (http://www.atlarge.icann.org/framework.htm#CertificationProcess);

It is resolved that the ALAC decertifies the Internet Users Network (Tokyo) as an ICANN At-Large Structure. Such decertification is subject ICANN Board Reconsideration as per Article IV, Section 2 of the ICANN Bylaws and is done without prejudice to any future re-application of this organization for certification as an ALS, or the application for ALS certification of any new group bearing the same name.

*****

Additional information on this decertification is available on the Internet Users Network - Tokyo (APRALO) Decertification Workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/3jx-Ag>.
