[ALAC] My job description

As you all know, I have taken on the role of ALAC Rapporteur.
According to our Rules of Procedure, the role is defined as
"An independent critical friend; a person acting as a monitor to
processes, who is responsible on behalf of the committee to ensure
correct process have been carried out."

Since this description is pretty open, I have put together a short
list of things that I would like to try to accomplish in the first 6
months. I welcome your comments and thoughts.

- Rewrite of Rules of Procedure to make them understandable, complete
and consistent (or at least as close as we can come to that).

- Work with staff to make our various web sites reasonably complete
and navigateable (so we and others can easily find things).

- Work with staff to make any necessary changes to mailing lists and
subscribers to further reduce duplication.

- Work with staff on a first pass of ALS review to see to what extent
they are complying with their basic requirements and to ensure we
have up-to-date contact information, all in order to understand what
next steps we must take. This will involve some work on the part of RALOs.

My intent is that we all participate in these exercises, but that
they not absorb a lot of committee time.

Lastly, I would like to change the name of the position from
Rapporteur to something that better resembles the job and is not
confusing to others, who think that it is largely a reporting job.
But I have not yet come up with a suitable name.

Alan
