It seems that we neglected to put this item on our agenda, but I suggest that we squeeze it in on Thursday. If we can generally agree on the procedure either via e-mail or one-on-one discussions prior to Thursday, it should not take long. First the allocation of seats on the committees. We have two on the Security and Stability review, and one on the Whois review. Our appeal to increase the number of seats on the Whois review was not successful, so we will need to exercise extreme care in selecting our one representative making sure that it is someone who can truly speak on behalf of all of us, despite At-Large having a variety of views on Whois, and particularly the privacy issues. Since I oversaw the process for the first selection in Nairobi, Cheryl asked that I make a proposal to start the discussion here. We will not be able to have a face-to-face meeting to do these selections. Also, since we will be talking about specific individuals, we will have to be careful to carry out such discussions privately. I suggest that we use the same methodology that we used for the ABSdt and that we decided yesterday for the overseeing the ALAC/At-Large Improvements plan. Specifically, I suggest that we delegate the initial selection to a working group of 10 members composed of the ExCom plus one other representative of each RALO (either an ALAC member or another representative as chosen by the RALO). This is a small enough group to allow good participation and good representation in teleconferences. The selections would then be ratified by the ALAC. Alan
