[At-Large] Good idea - but, let's allow for a comment period first..

[Robert Guerra]

Vittorio:


The agenda for the upcoming ALAC conference call seems pretty packed  
as it is. Adding a completely new item at this late stage, I do not  
think, gives either the broader at-large community nor the ALAC  
sufficient time to comment on and/or revise the text you propose.

For the sake of both good time management and transparent policy  
development processes let me suggest the following.. First,  -  
introduce - the reasoning behind your proposal here (in this open  
space) and to the ALAC. From there, the document should be considered  
by the at-large list for comment and review. Likely people will  
comment, and revise the document. Once there's rough agreement (rough  
consensus), then let it come back to the ALAC for their approval.

In summary, I think liaisons are ultimately responsible not to the  
ALAC but the larger at-large community. Thus, their views and  
comments should be considered first. If the community agrees (ie.  
there's consensus agreement) then, a polished document that does not  
require line by line analysis by the ALAC will result.

This raises a question - does At-Large have a defined policy  
development process? if not, then I suggest that be added as a task  
to complete on or by the Los Angeles ICANN meeting in the Fall.

regards,

Robert
