[At-Large] Draft written guidance for evaluating ALS applications

[Izumi AIZU]

I agree with Wendy that NCUC and ALAC should cooperate and supplement, not
compete. With that in mind, I propose to have a join ALAC - NCUC meeting in
Lisbon which we used to have at every ICANN meeting. The best timing would
be on Tuesday, during our second ALAC meeting, for say 60 minutes. Either
from around 5 pm, or after we conclude our business.

Given LSE report, ALS application issues, and coming ALAC review, etc, I
thinkg it's important to address the functions and positions of these two
committee/consituency and also larger civil society/user participation at
ICANN process - for not only ALC, but also for ALS/RALOs.

Many thanks,

izumi
