> 
> I have responded to Cherine: "I wish to convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to you and the ICANN Board for your recognition and support for critical resources that will ensure that ALAC and GAC members can participate in the policy development process as effective and equal partners. We look forward to working together with ICANN Org and the Information Transparency Initiative <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/the-information-transparency-initiative-iti-and-the-open-data-initiative-odi-similarities-differences-and-what-these-projects-mean-for-you> in whatever way we can so that this expectation of improved communication does not create more of a financial burden on current ICANN resources than is necessary." 
> 
> Therefore, congratulations to Alan and Yrjo for their efforts to get this underway for At-Large and the GAC. The initiative has created offers from other parts of ICANN for collaboration to produce better quality communication that can improve the participation of our respective members into the policy development and advice processes sought by ICANN. We all seek the same ends so it makes sense to be able to work together on this important outcome.
