[At-Large] ALS Proposed structures appllication (ALAC)

[RJGlass | America@Large]

With regard to the current ALAC meeting, and the Proposed Guide to At-Large
Structures Application evaluation, I have some concerns.

1) This document lacks any real substance or clarity in the area of what is
desired of future ALSs.
2) There is no substantial improvement over the previous version.
3) There has not been substantial deliberation over the issues, rather
issues are glossed over and accepted or changed as insignificantly as they
have been proposed.
4) Too much time has been spent on procedural issues that could have been
better focused on substance.

I am not trying to stand in the way of progress, rather I am convinced that
not much progress has been made in the way of making a reformed application
process of new ALSs.  In preparing for future issues such as this, I would
suggest more time and energy be used for making a quality document and clear
up issues related to these documents.  Unfortunately there has been so much
going on that some things fall through the cracks.  I'm afraid that this
document is one which has been neglected.
