[NA-Discuss] [At-Large] [APAC-Discuss] Independent At-Large Website

[Jean Armour Polly]

Hi--who will choose the RSS /blogs to be carried on the site? For 
example, icannalac reflects a variety of views, with links to  Danny 
Younger's and Karl Auerbach's blogs among others. If the ALAC 
committee selects the blogs to be carried can ICANN in ANY WAY refuse 
to carry the RSS content?

Gosh-- posting to icannalac is ridiculously simple--easier than 
posting to a wiki.
But back to the new site -- in the old days of alac.icann.org I 
recall your boss Denise told us that "not even a comma" could be 
changed on the official ALAC site without going through ICANN legal. 
So, I gather that this policy has changed?
Nick, how do you see the workflow-- when if ever would ICANN legal 
get involved with the new site?
If they have NO involvement whatsoever with content, that would be 
reassuring to the ALAC community. Perhaps you could get a written 
statement from Jeffries (ICANN Counsel) to that effect and we'd be 
done here. Otherwise it is troubling to think that ICANN legal could 
always shut the site down and leave the community without a home and 
without access to its documents and discussions. Seems like the 
confusion could easily be cleared up with a statement from Jeffries.

Thanks
