    <p><font face="Calibri">I want to thank you and all the members of
        the ALS Mobilization Working Party team for the number of hours
        devoted to come with a comprehensive report. I want to thank you
        also to listen to the voice of the community and bring the
        appropriate changes to the report.<br>
      </font></p>
    <p><font face="Calibri">I have already voted for the approval of the
        report and I have voted with a YES. However following the
        discussions we had in the AFRALO monthly meeting and after
        careful consideration of the points raised by members, I would
        humbly ask the following paragraph be removed from the ALS
        Mobilization Working Party Final Report :</font></p>

          embodiment of At-Large or to address changes in these
          recommendations. <br>
          The proposed changes are still under discussion with the

    <p><font face="Calibri">As there is agreement that the bylaw changes

      Thanks for the comment Tijani,<br>
      <br>
      To be clear, the proposed Bylaw changes that were in the earlier
      version
      were issues discovered while the ALS-Mob-WP performed their duties
      of
      reviewing all of the documents. However, none of the issues
      discovered
      (an error in the intro paragraph of the ALAC section of the
      Bylaws, the
      confusing use of "certify" and "accredit" and the
      problem of the Bylaw still referring to individual members as an
      option)
      were actually related to the recommendation that the WP was making
      related to ALSes.<br>
      <br>
      So nothing is harmed by delaying discussion of that section. And
      it is
      important to approve the ALS-related recommendation so that we can
      report
      to the Board that it is done (a report is required no later than
      the end
      of December) and of course start the work of implementation.<br>
      <br>
      Referring to the Office of the General Counsel is simply a
      mechanism to
      ensure that there will not be any surprises down the road. There
      has been
      abundant time for people to comment on the proposals, and short of
      your
      comment that was based on an incorrect report version being
      posted, there
      have been NO negative comments on the intent of what was being
      proposed.
      Lastly, I note that it is typical in ICANN to have the legal team
      do the
      actual drafting of Bylaws so clearly they see them before the
      group
      concerned. Ultimately, the request to the Board to amend the
      Bylaws will
      have to come from the ALAC and that will ensure full support.<br>
