thank you all!

Dear friends, Thank you for sharing these last several years with me. Your fellowship has provided enrichment in many ways; technical, political, cultural. I can assure you that the struggles in which we have engaged continue. I am no less committed to them and will continue to engage. We have had some successes in setting up an at-large infrastructure that if properly sustained by us and the ICANN community in general can in fact deliver on the promise of an ICANN that is truly participatory and focused on the public and userŽs interest. Warmest regards Annette

ALAC policy briefings at future meetings
by Wendy Seltzer Nov. 5, 2008

Nov. 5, 2008

ALAC members, I welcome the opportunity to convey policy interests and positions from the At Large to the Board. Unfortunately, Board members came away from their meeting with ALAC with a sense that the ALAC focused primarily on procedural issues rather than prioritizing policy discussion. If ALAC wants to say that it has not heard user concern or cannot find evidence of individual Internet user interests on policy matters, that is fine, but if the group is engaged in policy discussions, even those in progress, I get the sense that Board members would prefer to get a briefing on such issues than to hear procedural debates or be asked to answer questions.
