> Dear Steve,
> 
> 
> I am pleased to inform you that the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) has ratified the following ALAC Resolution:
> 
> -- start of resolution --
> WHEREAS the ALAC has long supported the requirement of reducing barriers to Top Level Domain (TLD) creation in developing economies; and 
> WHEREAS the ALAC has co-chartered the Joint Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG) and welcomed the participation of many At-Large members in its activities; and 
> WHEREAS the ALAC has reviewed and endorsed earlier milestone reports of this Working Group; and 
> WHEREAS the JAS WG has produced a Final Report for consideration by the ICANN community that has been reviewed by At-Large; 
> RESOLVED THAT the ALAC endorses the Final Report of the JAS Working Group and urges the ICANN Board to implement its recommendations; and 
> RESOLVED THAT the ALAC thanks the community volunteers and ICANN staff whose work contributed - and continues to contribute - to the advancement of the JAS WG mandate.
> 
> --- end of resolution --
> 
> With 14 out of 15 ALAC members voting, the ALAC vote result was 14 in favour, 0 against and 0 objections.
> 
> The resolution is therefore carried unanimously by the ALAC.
> 
> You may review the process by which the ALAC vote took place on page:
> https://community.icann.org/x/9gKpAQ
> 
> Please be so kind to find a copy of the JAS Applicant Support Working Group Final Report enclosed for your immediate transmittal to the ICANN Board. I trust that this will become a key item on the Board Agenda.
> 
> Please find also enclosed, appended below my email, the correspondence I have received from Stéphane Van Gelder, GNSO Council Chair, indicating that the GNSO Council has approved a motion to forward the final Report of the JAS WG to the ICANN Board for review. Details of the motion found below.
> 
> Finally, let me remind you that volunteers and staff have worked very hard throughout the summer in order to have this report ready for the ICANN Board to have enough time to initiate the process by which its recommendations will be adopted by the Board during the ICANN DAKAR meeting. The Community has responded to the Board's call for action in Nairobi and in Cartagena. The Board must now respond equally as quickly to the Community's resolve that launching a new gTLD programme without Applicant Support would be politically incorrect for ICANN.
