Note on Translations

A measure of the ALAC's maturity will be when our advice and comments to the Board, and/or what is included in our submissions on policy matters, is trusted by other stakeholders in ICANN to have validated and identified where clear consensus or the diversity of opinion occurs on any matter, from the grass roots level… This means that we need to find ways to better empower and facilitate the RALO's and ALS's to do their all important jobs.
