[ALAC] ICANN Board Meeting tomorrow

[Jacqueline A. Morris]

Hi
I agree with Cheryl. One of the major issues, I think, is the Board's 
reaction to ALAC's advisory role - when Alac sends advice adn 
statements, are they considered or even read? There's no indication in 
the Board minutes that this happens. ALAC previously did raise this 
issue when Vint was Chair, and got an assurance that each statement 
would be read and considered and that we would get feedback, but I 
haven't seen this continue.

Basically one issue is when we send an advice or Statement through we don't even get a receipt note let alone an idea it has ever been distributed dealt with or looked at or read by anyone *sigh*
