[ALAC] Short ICANN57 Mobile App Survey

[Seun Ojedeji]

+1 to Evan, I personally lost interest once I figured it was not a one time
app. I appreciated the AtLarge calender and that is what I use mostly. I
also use to import a few non-ALAC ones from the main ICANN events calendar,
unfortunately that has gone to shed recently (which I also do not dig).
