[At-Large] Establishing working groups in At-Large to respond to policy initiatives in other areas of ICANN

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Dear All:

Just to summarise what I understand the process will be to
operationalise At-Large responding to the many policy initiatives and
working groups which are created throughout ICANN:

1) New working group or policy development process is constituted in
an area of ICANN external to At-Large

2) I am informed of the existence, mandate, and any home URL by the
Policy staff.

3) I post a notice at the ALAC Wiki, in the Policy Working Groups
section of the site and send an email to all the regional discuss
lists asking for volunteers to work on the issue, together with 1 (or
more) concerned ALAC members.

4) At-Large staff then ensure that the online working arrangements for
the At-Large working groups are created (mailing lists, other tools as
needed ) and help arrange for necessary information about the working
groups' source to be linked to the At-Large presence. At-Large staff
organises teleconferences and the like as needed.

5) The At-Large WG reports get disseminated for the wider AL community
for comment (if applicable). The work of the AL WGs gets documented in
their online 'microsite' within the wiki for the time being.

We start by issuing a call for those who wish to work with Hong on
IDNs to respond.

Committee members please let me know if you think I've got any of this wrong.
