Dear Members,

As agreed during our last monthly call, we have put the final draft of the report on googledocs. Please do not suggest edits but rather add comments on any section of the document that you find to be of concern, if you have a solution to the concern, you can indicate it in your comment as well, we shall then compile any comments that emerge and make a statement off it thereof.

Here is the url to the googledocs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kr4uH3IGv-LNzsO27twEiTlmRBUUAab5JzgNqGChqwY/edit?usp=sharing

Kindly put in your comments as soon as possible.

Regards
Seun - AFRALO Chair

Dear Members,

The ALS mobilisation working party has completed its work and the report is hereby attached for our comments. These report makes recommendations on how present and future ALSes will operate within AFRALO and At-large as a whole, hence it is important that members look at the report and provide any feedback to on this. 

You may put your comments on this list(in response to my mail) or you may write to me directly or to any of the AFRALO officers in copy. We shall then attempt to put the various comments together in form of a statement. I suggest we take the next 2 weeks for this as the ALAC may be finalising on the report during the next ALAC meeting. I will appreciate that comments are brief and specific with reference to specific heading and page number in the document. I will attempt to provide 2 examples below:

What to expect from an ALS(page 3/4):
The 3rd paragraph seem to give more decision powers to the ALT, when it should rather be the entire ALAC that would grant such a waiver. Preferrably such waiver may be receievd and granted by each RALO leadership to avoid weilding too much power to the center 

Withdrawal of Accreditation (page 16):
Bullet point 3 under item 2 suggests that staff should notify the ALAC Chair who then oversees the process, i think it should rather be a notification to the RALO leadership (perhaps with ALAC Chair in copy) and the RALO leadership should oversee the process with an action recommendation to the ALAC (through the ALAC Chair)

Finally, while we have earlier invited the Chair of the working party in person of Alan Greenberg to our special purpose call in the past, there may be another call/webinar that will be scheduled. I will provide more details about that as soon as i have it.

Subject: [ALAC] Final Report of the ALS Mobilization Working Party
To: ALAC <alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org>
Cc: ALS-Mob-WP <als-mob-wp@icann.org>


Please find attached the Final Report of the ALS Mobilization Working
Party (ALS-Mob-WP).

I will be happy to formally make a presentation to the ALAC and
At-Large Community at Maureen's convenience, and I can also do
presentations to any RALO that wishes.

The report is the result of ten months of work by the WP. Everything
in it was determined by consensus and the vast majority by unanimous consensus.

The next step is a review by the ALAC and RALOs. Presumably the
latter will be initiated by the ALAC Members from each region.

Once the ALAC, with the support of the RALOs provides approval, the
substance of the report will go to the ICANN Board for their
agreement (or non-objection). Any Bylaw changes will be submitted to
the Board and would be subject to the standard Bylaw amendment
procedure as specified under Bylaws Article 25. In parallel with this
report being submitted to the ALAC, the proposed Bylaw changes are
being submitted to the Office of the General Counsel for their review
and comments.

Should the ALAC or Board require further modifications to the report,
the WP will be reconvened.

I will be happy to address and questions, comments or concerns.
