[At-Large] Resolution of the Board of Directors related to the proposed Summit

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Dear All:

I wanted to ensure you saw this as soon as it became available. This  
is the text of the resolution related to the proposed Summit adopted  
unanimously at the public ICANN Board Meeting today in New Delhi

----

At-Large Structures Summit

Whereas, the At-Large Advisory Committee is now supported by five  
Regional At-Large Organizations comprised of more than one hundred At- 
Large Structures.
Whereas, members of the ALAC, RALOs, and At-Large Structures believe  
that a face-to-face meeting of at least one person from each of these  
structures in conjunction with an ICANN meeting would facilitate their  
coordination and work on ICANN policy matters relating to the  
interests of individual Internet users.

Whereas, the ALAC and constituents have been planning for such a  
Summit since ICANN's San Juan meeting.

Whereas, this would be a special event associated with the completion  
of the establishment of the At-Large Advisory Committee.

Whereas, many of the ALAC At-Large structures are unable to cover the  
costs of sending a representative to an ICANN meeting for this purpose.

Resolved (2008.02.15.12), the Board directs Staff to work with the  
ALAC to finalise a proposal that will fund one person from each At- 
Large Structure to attend the proposed Summit, for consideration as  
part of the 2008-2009 operating plan and budget process.
