<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff">
Dear Katim,<br>
<br>
thank you for your kind email and your suggestion which was received
very positively by members of the JAS working group when the
discussion came up.<br>
<br>
Both the GNSO and the ALAC charters for this working group include
the following sentence:<br>
<br>
"4. All communication to the ICANN Board regarding the work of this
Working Group shall be through the respective SO/AC unless expressly
approved by the respective SO/AC."<br>
<br>
However, a direct interaction between the various ICANN communities
and the JAS working group participants has always been very welcome
by the ALAC. After all, the JAS working group is open to all
participants, GAC and Board members included.<br>
<br>
Your suggestion was therefore discussed during the ALAC monthly call
on 24 May 2011. <br>
A motion for an invitation of interested parties was presented and
voted on by the committee, as follows:<br>
<br>
--- cut here ---<br>
<font face="Tahoma" size="2">The ALAC is pleased to note interest
from the Board and other stakeholders towards the second Milestone
Report of the Cross-community Joint Applicant Support Working
Group (JAS WG). To this extent, the ALAC therefore welcomes the
organisation of a conference call -- for interested members of the
JAS WG, ICANN Board, GNSO, GAC, At-Large and other interested
community members -- to discuss the status and way forward for the
JAS WG. We also request the creation of a multi-stakeholder
meeting on this issue to be held at the ICANN meeting in
Singapore.</font><br>
--- cut here ---<br>
<br>
A vote was performed with 13 out of 15 ALAC members being present on
the call. <br>
It resulted in a unanimous 13 yes, 0 objections and 0 abstentions.<br>
<br>
I therefore can give you the green light from the ALAC to proceed
forward with setting up such a call, and to consider the request for
the creation of a multi-stakeholder meeting on the JAS issue to be
held at the ICANN meeting in Singapore.<br>
I understand that the current standard call times for the JAS
working group are Tuesday 13:00 UTC and Friday 13:00 UTC. May I
therefore suggest the consideration of any of those future times:<br>
<br>
- Tuesday 31 May 2011 - 13:00 UTC<br>
- Friday 3 June 2011 - 13:00 UTC<br>
- Tuesday 7 June 2011 - 13:00 UTC<br>
- Friday 10 June 2011 - 13:00 UTC<br>
<br>
In the interest of swift synchronization, I am CC'ing this message
to Gisella and Karla who will be able to coordinate call
participants, but I would kindly ask you that you coordinate the
Board's participant list as well as the GAC's participant list.<br>
<br>
While thanking you again for your suggestion, I look forward to
hearing from you soon.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>

Dear Katim,<br>
<br>
thank you very much for your kind message. From discussions that
have taken place in the JAS working group, I am aware that the
group would be very interested indeed in such an interaction. As
far as the ALAC is concerned, I will ask for this question to be
added to the agenda of our forthcoming monthly call, tomorrow
Tuesday. I'll get back to you in due course. <br>
Warmest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

<div>First, let me congratulate you and your teams, as well as
the JAS WG on their second report. I've had the opportunity
to go through it, and it's quality work.</div>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:

like to ask if you'd be interested in organizing a
conference call for interested board members and the GNSO,
GAC, and At-Large reps to discuss the status and way forward
for the recently released JAS WG report. The idea was
presented at the recently concluded board retreat in
Istanbul that a public meeting on the JAS WG report (with
the participation of the board and GAC) will be helpful, and
toward this end, it would be useful to have a conference
call. Please let me know if this makes sense to you and let
me know when you want to have the call, if indeed you want
to have it.</span></div>
