[NA-Discuss] Revised - Internal ALAC Rules of procedure

[Wendy Seltzer]

Thanks very much Robert and drafting group,

A couple thoughts:

Rule 12.2 -- I don't think a quorum should persist after members leave a
meeting. There's already too great a tendency for ICANN meetings to drag
on.

Working with documents: The committee should delegate the drafting and
re-drafting of documents to a secretariat or subcommittee, which should
not attempt to make substantive decisions without the group, but should
use list alternatives that have some support in [brackets] for the group
as a whole to discuss and resolve.

Even as a candidate for a liaison position, I still recommend making
recalls easier.  I've made my election procedure remarks before, and
won't repeat them.
