[At-Large] New gTLD implementation Consultation Session London 15 July 2009

[Cheryl Langdon-Orr]

Olivier thank you *so much* for this excellent report, I was only able 
to join via the Adobe Connect room for a short while between other 
teleconferences but I was there during the time when the particular 
question you outline below came to the mike... Considering the amount of 
discussion this issue has generated I would like to ask you Olivier, and 
the List Members a couple of things... 

Firstly to Olivier may we (ALAC)  'copy' your report(s) from this list 
into a text section in the IRT WG Wiki space 
https://st.icann.org/gnso-liaison/index.cgi?at_large_irt_process_working_group 
(and indeed I would also welcome any other reports from people who may 
also have attended the London "show" or the earlier New York one as well 
as the next two planned for Hong Kong & Abu-Dhabi)

And secondly questions to the At-Large List;  1. should we also record/ 
engage in further discussion/ debate on this specific topic of ICANN's 
scope (as it relates to the IRT report and new gTLD's in that wiki as 
well ?  2. Do you wish us to set up a 'Commons' associated with that 
Wiki Workspace to encourage and capture more discussion and debate from 
us all?

 I  will raise this topic at the ALAC meeting on July 28th if you wish 
and propose that we ask for "feedback" from the Board on this matter, so 
*if* you do capture your thought points, of view and debate on this 
topic in such a Commons or Workspace, then we can use the that as a 
resource to direct their attention to...  Just a thought let me know how 
you want us to proceed...
