[ALAC-Announce] [ALAC] RECORDED / Nominations for the ALT

[Alan Greenberg]

The ALAC Rules of Procedure are very clear on the 
makeup and responsibilities of the ALT. It is a 
regionally balanced group of five ALAC members 
including the ALAC Chair. The other four members 
may take on responsibilities delegated by the 
Chair (as may other ALAC Members!) and act as advisors to the Chair.

The ALT has no authority to take decisions on 
substantive matters. To quote RoP 6.2

6/2 The ALT shall have no other explicit 
responsibilities and is not empowered to make 
substantive decisions on the part of the ALAC 
unless urgency or confidentiality precludes 
consulting the ALAC. In such a case, the decision 
needs to be ratified with the ALAC as soon as practical.
Note that even the ALAC Chair has very limited 
decision-making authority. Anything of substance must go to the entire ALAC.

The concept of the ALT goes back to the start of 
the ALAC (once RALOs were created). As alluded to 
by Carlos, it used to be called the ExCom, but 
that name was changed to the ALAC Leadership Team 
to remove any implication that there was a 
decision-making component to its work - it has 
always been a regionally balanced advisory and consultative group.

Lastly, I note that the current RoP were first 
approved in 2013, and have now had five 
revisions. All have been approved either 
unanimously by the ALAC, or with a VERY strong 
majority - including Revision 5 a few days ago, 
which had 1 abstention and 14 votes in support (including Carlos).
