[EURO-Discuss] INVITATION TO COMMENT ­ AT-LARGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE INDEPENDENT REVIEW

[At-Large Staff]

Westlake Consulting Limited  (http://www.westlakenz.com/) (WCL) has been
selected by ICANN's Board of Directors to conduct an independent review of
the At-Large Advisory Committee (http://alac.icann.org/)  (ALAC).  WCL's
review team is gathering information from many different sources including a
range of people who have an interest, directly or indirectly, in the ALAC.

The objectives of the Review are principally:
* [To determine] whether the ALAC has a continuing purpose in the ICANN
structure; and, 
* If so, whether any change in structure or operations is desirable to
improve its effectiveness.
The Review Terms of Reference
(http://www.icann.org/reviews/alac/alac-review-final-tor-20jun07.pdf)  note
that: 

³It will be important to consider Š different perspectives relevant to the
ALAC, including the views of individual Internet users, the ALSs, the RALOs,
past and current Members of the ALAC, and many others within (and perhaps
outside of) the ICANN community.²

Accordingly, WCL invites individuals or organisations, who wish to
contribute observations or information about any aspect of the role,
structure or operation of the ALAC, to email their comments to
alacreview at westlakenz.com, no later than 18 April 2008.
