It is timely in a NARALO context because of our meeting tomorrow.

The begining of our call will have Tricia Drakes of the Board Governance
Committee as a participant, as the BGC is seeking input regarding the
ALAC review. One of the two issues on which the BGC is most keen to hear
input is the Westlake recommendation to address regional imbalance by
adding two Asian NomComm members to ALAC (without any corresponding
RALO-elected members).

If the NomComm cannot be relied upon to pick, for ALAC reps designated
for a region, people who are actually from that region, then isn't the
Westlake recommendation pointless?

PS: The other issue they want to hear about regards the recommendation
to better clarify the distinction between  NCUC and At-Large, from the
point of view of participating stakeholders.
