Yes, I want to endorse what Kathy has said below and encourage all concerned NCUC members to please speak up. The ICANN Board has made it very clear that the GNSO community must speak out against this proposal or they will have difficulty not accepting the proposal. Just 30 seconds at the mic this AM is all we need.<div><br></div><div>Thank you.<br><div><br></div><div>Robin</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 24, 2009, at 2:59 AM, Kathy Kleiman wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> To All,<br> ICANN's Public Forum takes place tomorrow, and the section on the IRT starts the entire process.<br> For those who don't know, this is where individuals have an opportunity to directly address the Board <br> on issues of import.

If you are following, if you have concerns about the IRT report, there are ways to participate (and your participation is probably more heavily noticed by staff than ours).
