On the assumption the the CCWG will come to closure on all issues and publish a revised final proposal, that ALAC needs a process by which we can decide whether to ratify it or not. We are starting to see "final" revised documents for the various recommendations. I propose the following: 1. As these documents are made available, I suggest that we distribute them to the ALAC and IANA-Issues lists, along with a (hopefully) concise summary of what has changed. I can do some of these summaries, but I am looking for volunteers who have a good understanding of other recommendations to volunteer to do those (please volunteer directly to me). 2. All comments will be welcome, but for each document, if there are any concerns THAT YOU FEEL MIGHT JUSTIFY ALAC REJECTION, these must be raised promptly for discussion. If there are statements that you feel the ALAC MUST make in relation to a recommendation, even though we will ratify, these should also be raised. 3. By the time we get to Marrakech, we should have already covered the majority of the proposal. 4. In Marrakech, we will allow sufficient time for the discussion of any final changes and if appropriate a formal vote on either the entire proposal, or on a recommendation-by recommendation basis. Comments please. Alan
