[At-Large] GNSO new gTLD session next week

[Cheryl Langdon-Orr]

Just to let you know Wendy, as we knew Alan would be unable to make this
meeting, I did ask if either Brett of Beau could physically attend on our
behalf, but unfortunately both are otherwise committed...  

I will note however that observers are able to attend and that includes I
assume by phone as well... I will be doing that, (so that we can keep up to
date on these activities) even though we cannot have either our liaison or
another person physically present on the ALAC's behalf... That said if
anyone on this list is planning to attend this meeting as an observer  (or
on any other capacity) perhaps they would care to prepare a briefing report
for all our benefit.

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.
