[At-Large] ALS lists - why no public archive?

[Jacqueline A. Morris]

Hi Alice
As we discussed briefly during the Lisboa meeting, several of the RALOs have
determined that individual users do not participate on the same footing as
the organized ALSes. We said then that the ALAC needed to look into possible
alternate methods to allow individual users to participate  - one idea was a
6th RALO for individuals... 
Should we start a working group to brainstorm ideas for better
participation? If so - who'd be interested in looking at those options -
Wendy, Alice?

Agree, the current ALAC structure does not support individual Internet 
users participation. Not sure the RALO's will either unless there is a 
commitment to truly supporting/ensuring their engagement.
