We have had two positive comments and no negative ones. I would
suggest that we post the comment on the ICANN comment page as an ALAC
statement noting that it is in the process of being ratified, and at
the same time start a 7-day vote.

Cheryl/Vanda, can you give the word to do this? The deadline for
posts in the end of July 13th in California, about 28 hours from when
I am sending this message.
