AW: [council] Fwd: Update on "Expressions of Interest" Group

[Alan Greenberg]

Perhaps I have missed something, but from the 
ALAC-person-who-is-not-representing-ALAC in the group, this is a 
completely non-ICANN endeavour - mailing list is hosted by one of the 
members and no ICANN money for teleconferences. I haven't seen a 
request for staff resources, but perhaps I missed it.
