I would refrain from further procedural discussions (also, no other 
region is making things as complex as us). If we can live with the 
Bylaws we have (and it was already hard to agree on them), I would 
suggest that you two pick the person who can be the Chair for this first 
year, and if it's the only candidate we consider him/her elected... or, 
if you prefer, we can cast our votes in private in the online system, so 
that there is a track of a formal vote. Also I think that the issue of 
"who gets 2-year terms" is easy, the five most voted get two years, the 
others get one.

We could specifically ask all ALSes to suggest the three most important 
ICANN-related issues that they see, for example. Also, some of us should 
participate in the ALAC working groups on various issues, that are going 
to start working soon.

We should meet when we have an agenda that requires an in-person 
meeting... I have no funding to go either to Geneva or to Warsaw, for 
example. We should perhaps start by using conference calls, which are 
less costly.
