[ALAC] Draft Response to BGC Midpoint Consultation: On designated ALAC Seats on the ICANN Board

Dear Colleagues: Based on the feedback and various discussions, I present this text hereunder as a representative draft response: "The ALAC welcomes the recommendation of the BGC that the ALAC is allocated two (2) seats on the ICANN Board. This development is very useful in projecting to the AT-Large community and users in general the value that ICANN place on our engagement in the process and provides a real opportunity to see the views of the community reflected in policy and administration. When the time comes for this recommendation to be implemented, we would wish that the ALAC is reserved the right to determine a selection process for these seats with a right of recall embedded."
