[At-Large] GNSO new gTLD session next week

[Alan Greenberg]

I am leaving for Central Africa on Friday, and so will not be 
attending. There are discussions about sending an alternative rep, 
but I have not yet heard the outcome.

Based on the last missives I have seen, it will primarily be an 
update on implementation progress, with some request for feedback 
where alternative options seem available (all meeting the 
recommendations) and some requests for additional rationale for 
specific recommendations. There does will not (as far as I can 
understand) be an opportunity to revisit the actual recommendations 
in the gTLD report.

To date, I have received no instructions from ALAC regarding 
positions to take on gTLD issues. I am of course aware of work done 
on IDN issues with regard to gTLDs.
