[NA-Discuss] ALAC Statement

[Cheryl Langdon-Orr]

Danny the At-Large Advisory Committee Statement went through Wiki Based
modifications after our last ALAC Meeting (to allow for At-Large Comment)
and was then extended further to allow for changes to be included that
reflected community views expressed after the Joint User Statement went out
for comment (including recognition of the various issues raised in list
traffic at the end of last month)... Reference here the  Side by Side
version comparison notice via email that Nick sent to this list on 27/04/08
inserted below...

ALAC did not formally convene on this matter. Nor was there a call for it to
do so... Indeed there was not a call for a formal Vote by any ALAC Member
(other than me) with regards to this statement... We should also note that
the 'original  Version 6 was posted by the GNSO Improvements WG originally
on the 1st of April which means we did have a 35 day comment period ...
Still too short in my personal view...

This will no doubt be discussed at the next ALAC Meeting next week...

Dear All:

I have been requested to provide some language which might act as a 'bridge'
which could help to reconcile the views expressed about the Joint Proposal
on GNSO Reform which has been the subject of considerable discussion in the
NARALO in the last several days.

I hope that what I have crafted is at least close to what is required. As
always, whether it is used or not is entirely up to all of you.

I have taken the liberty of doing the drafting using the wiki version of the
ALAC Statement to the Board of ICANN on GNSO Improvements, since it seemed
to me that this would make it easy for everyone to see the original text of
that document and also the changes that I have introduced, Here are some
URLs for you:

Cheryl,

I have taken note of the ALAC submission entitled
"At-Large Advisory Committee Statement.  To the ICANN
Board on the Board Governance Committee's
Recommendations for Improvements to the Generic Names
Supporting Organisation" posted on Sunday 4 May 2008
at
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-improvements-report-2008/msg00031.html

Would you be good enough to inform us when the ALAC
formally convened and ratified this document through a
voting process?  Please let us know the voting tally
and which committee members voted in favor and which
were opposed.

Thank you,
Danny
