[lac-discuss-en] ALAC Resolves Upon At-Large Summit Follow-up Roadmap

[At-Large Staff]

The ALAC, in its meeting on 24th March
<https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?24_march_2009> , resolved upon a plan
<https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?alac_resolution_on_working_group_statem
ents>  for taking forward the Summit working groups and outcomes to keep the
momentum in the community which the Summit has generated.

Firstly, it was agreed that the five Summit working groups
<https://st.icann.org/summit-wg/index.cgi?working_groups>  should continue
to follow the issues within their remit, and all At-Large community members
are asked to engage with one, or more, of the working groups.  Regular
meetings of each working group will be held, commencing shortly, and
dedicated wiki work environments are being created to support their work.

Secondly, a process was agreed
<https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?alac_resolution_on_working_group_statem
ents>  which will ensure each of the five working group statements becomes
not just a Summit conclusion, but also an Advisory of the ALAC to the Board
of ICANN. 

In order to ensure each statement garners the widest possible community
support, each statement will be put out for comment by the whole At-Large
community in French, Spanish, and English editions. After review and
amendment, if required, by each working group¹s leadership team, the
statements will be voted on by the ALAC before presentation to the Board.
Where an ICANN-wide public comment period is underway on a matter addressed
by a statement, it will also be submitted in the relevant comment box.

The ALAC asked the Staff to ensure the community were aware of these
changes, and of the URLs for mailing lists and workspaces for those who wish
to participate. These details will be forthcoming soon ­ if you wish to
follow events in the At-Large community, it is recommended that you
subscribe to the At-Large announcement list
