<DIV>Good showing by those who spoke at the mic, and the delivery of the joint statement with ALAC had impact.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just reminding everyone also that there'll be a meeting today (Thursday) with members of the IRT at 2.15 p.m., in Room 2 on Level 2 of the Hilton. At least 4 members of the IRT, not counting me, (perhaps more) are planning to attend, so it'll be a good opportunity to engage directly with them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Konstantinos, are you planning to call in?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>

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>

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).
