[ALAC] New Draft Text for ALAC Review WG Report
Dear all,
We had morning meeting and also another discussion from 3:30 pm to 4:15 pm
today,
and here follows is the edited version of the current draft. There were some
7 or 8 people,
at least for these two meetings and we had, at least, "rough" consensus on
most of
the texts, if not in details and wordings. I added, using the "Editor's
privilege", some
phrases to the one displayed in the room.
Of course, this is not nowhere near "final". Please express your comments
and
suggestions to all points. For convenience, I also attach the Word file.
Please,
if so needed, use the "history tracking" function of the Word to indicate
where
you suggest changes. And also, please give us the exact wording you like to
propose, rather than just pointing out what should be done.
*Draft text for ALAC Response to BGC WG Report on ALAC Review*
*Nov 4 version*
At this time, we would like to provide our comments mainly to the "Key
Points for discussion" in Page 4 of the Report as they capture the most
important issues. We may further work more on the specifics and details
later.
First and foremost, we appreciate and commend the high-quality work of the
BGC Working Group on ALAC Review. We are not in full agreement of all
specifics of the report, but we are pleasantly surprised that the Report
showed the deep understanding of the issue, made sensible suggestions and
practical proposals that is very valid for us to seriously respond and act
on.
*1. The ALAC has a continuing purpose in the ICANN structure. This
continuing purpose has three key elements: *
*o providing advice on policy;
o providing input into ICANN operations and structure;
o part of ICANN's accountability mechanisms *
We have no additional comment on these, but just agree.
*Organization*
*2. At Large should in principle be given two voting seats on the ICANN
Board
3. The ALAC**
