<FONT SIZE="5"><FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12pt'>Dear Community members:<BR>
<BR>
The ALAC decided at their last meeting to request the staff to draft up a comprehensive Accountability Framework, which the ALAC Executive Committee was to review and amend at its meeting this month. The Chair proposed to the ExComm that at the same time a Conflicts of Interest Policy should be prepared as this was a natural accompaniment to the Accountability Framework.<BR>
<BR>
he ExComm has reviewed these two texts, and the ALAC is now to review the draft from 1 April until 11th April – comments from the wider At-Large community are of course welcomed. <BR>
<BR>
Any comments received are then to be incorporated and the resulting text will be on the agenda for adoption at the next ALAC Teleconference, in May.<BR>
