Applicant Support Second Milestone Report

 

Please see the following reply I sent to the GNSO 

list. There was not sufficient time to get it 

reviewed prior to sending, but if I have 

incorrectly represented the ALAC, please let me 

know and I will post a correction.

 

The note was in reply to a proposal from Mary 

Wong with comments from Tim Ruiz and Jeff Neuman.
