According to http://www.icann.org/public_comment/#dpc-raa-2008 the
deadline for public comment closes August 4. NARALO's conference call
happened yesterday and there won't be another one until the deadline is
passed. So this timing does not make public consultation (ie, the
theoretical interaction between ALAC, RALOs and ALSs) realistically
possible.

If even the WG does not yet know what's going on with just over two
weeks before the deadline, what chance do the rest of us have.

Also: It was raised during yesterday's NARALO call that a number of
proposed additions to the RAA -- ones which would have prevented the
RegisterFly situation (or a repeat) -- were rejected. When drafting the
documents please address what was not included (but submitted for
consideration) as well as what remains.
