[atrt2] ATRT2 letter to governments

[Carlos Raúl G.]

Dear Brian, 

In the case of most Latin American Governments it will be hard to pin down a single official in charge of Internet public policies. I checked the list of the VP for LAC a few weeks ago and it was  out of date. I have not seen a new one yet and I rather suggest to tell us who is going to receive the letter, so a proper follow up work can be done, because it is getting rather late.

Heather Dryden, Chair of the GAC has offered GAC resources to provide contact information for GAC member countries.  While that information is helpful, in many instances we still do not have the name of the relevant government official/Minister to whom the letter should be addressed.

Heather, would a request that each GAC representative provide the name of the relevant Minister and his/her email address be practical and fruitful?  Additionally, could ICANN's Government Engagement team provide or direct ICANN staff to additional resources that could supplement the list of addresses?  We are open to suggestions as to how to expedite this important task.  The Review Team would like to send the outreach letters by 1 July at the latest.
