Good point, and in fact, the ALAC recently did exactly that in 
requesting that the current ExCom take on the responsibility of 
selecting/forwarding names for the new Meeting Strategy Working Group.

I would suggesting adding a new paragraph after 6.2 (to be numbered 
6.3 and pushing the rest of 6.x down)

Paragraph 6.2 notwithstanding, the ALAC may, from time to time, 
assign specific responsibilities or tasks to the ExCom.

That looked like a good correction until I checked the source, the 
Bylaws. And what we have is verbatim what is there. Actually either 
version is rather poor grammar when you replace RALO with what it stands for:

"... in each Regional At-Large Organisation's Region"
"... in each Regional At-Large Organisation Region"

It's sort of a circular reference. It should just be "... in each ICANN region"

I suggest we leave the Bylaw words intact, bad grammar and all.

>12.2.1 - the term "delegates" is not used anymore. Replace with "member" ?

Good catch!  I thought we had eradicated all of those "delegate". I 
guess the abstention rules were sufficiently complex that I just 
cut/paste and didn't notice it. "deletages" should be replaced by 
"ALAC Members".
