Silvia Vivanco:Hello all
Evan Leibovitch:ICANN and its community have been spending what seems to be almost all of its effort on internal issues (IANA, accountability, upcoming At-Large review). In the midst of this, do you believe that there are any important policy or technical issues that are under-addressed and need the At-Large community's attention? How can we bring these issues to the fore?

Glenn McKnight:As one of the NARALO ALAC representatives what methods do you plan on deploying in keeping the NARALO membership up to date with ALAC activities?
Loris Taylor:What is your position on increasing the diversity of interests in ALAC? How will you engage more diverse interests?
Evan Leibovitch:OK, I have a followup question based on answers given so far: We have heard a couple of times about a new round of gTLDs being considered. Given the failures of public-interest initiatives in the last round (no Applicant support successes, so many community applications denied, ALAC objections overruled), how can ALAC ensure these problems are not repeated? What, indeed, is your opinion on the justofication (from an end-user perspective) on the need for new rounds?
