[ICANN At-Large Staff]

Hello, everyone,

The proposed ALAC resolution regarding the JAS WG Final Report -- as discussed in today's ALAC meeting and prepared on today's ExCom call -- can be found below.  It is now being distributed for consideration and review by the ALAC.  A five-day vote on this resolution will begin tomorrow, 28 September 2011.

This proposed resolution will also be placed on the At-Large wiki workspace dedicated to the Final Report:  https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+JAS+WG+Final+Report+Workspace.

The resolution follows:

WHEREAS the ALAC has long supported the requirement of reducing barriers to Top Level Domain ( TLD) creation in developing economies; and

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

WHEREAS the ALAC has reviewed and endorsed earlier milestone reports of this Working Group; and

WHEREAS the JAS WG has produced a Final Report for consideration by the ICANN community that has been reviewed by At-Large;

RESOLVED THAT the ALAC endorses the Final Report of the JAS Working Group and urges the ICANN Board to implement its recommendations; and

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.
