[At-Large] <IMPORTANT> Draft Plan for Tuesday's AtLarge community meeting with ICANN Board

[Siavash Shahshahani]

Here are some comments:
 'ALAC in transition' seems to me should be the obvious theme of the
meeting. Parceling out the time into microscopic segments will not allow
any in-depth discussion. This is the longest meeting with the Board ALAC
has had at least in the last two years and the opportunity should not be
missed.
So I suggest that instead of giving brief positions on a large number of
issues, we allow half of the time to be spent on brainstorming with the
Board about the future of ALAC and at-large representation.
Other comments between the lines:


> Jacqueline to Chair the meeting, Izumi assist Jacqueline as time-keeper

Do we need a time-keeper? Shouldn't the Chair do that? In any case the
time-keeper should apply the same standards to himself/herself.

> Introduction – Jacqueline
> Acknowledgement and introduction for outgoing and incoming ALAC members
> New members introduction - what they expect to do
> RALO-elect ALAC members and NomCom-select ALAC members to say a few
> words, 2 min max  	[10 - 15 min?]

Why are we making this distinction between RALO-elect and NomCim select
specially if they're allowed equal time?

> ALAC in Transition- Veronica/Cheryl – 3 min max
> Report on – One day Workshop

I think this the most important part. Time should also be given to whoever
else thinks has something to contribute.

ALAC has a well-defined legal definition; maybe you should change the
title to "At-Large Views".
