There are two questions here to my mind:

1) Can we (staff, Secretariats, ALAC) coordinate more effectively -  
and can staff support facilitate better coordination?
2) Can online resources be leveraged more effectively to provide  
information faster?

I have no doubt the answer to both these questions is "YES!" And of  
course a part of the whole point of having Secretariats and ALAC in  
LA is to work on just this kind of issue.

On (2) there is ongoing work to help make the online tools both  
richer and easier to use (also in one place...).

One thing is a bit worrying though, the link to the page for Nomcom  
2008 is smack in the middle in large letters on st.icann.org/alac.  
Perhaps you're looking somewhere else?
