I am sending this message at the request of Olivier. Please find attached my proposed revised charter for adoption by the ALAC. It has already been reviewed by the ExCom. I have included the original ALAC charter, the GNSO charter, the revised ALAC charter and a Rationale/Notes in a side-by-side format. - It preserves all of the important aspects of the ALAC charter. - It includes the aspects of the GNSO Charter in well delineated manner (the sections applying to the GNSO could be reordered to be consecutive, but I have not done that, don't really think that it is necessary, and feel that it may confuse the overall mission of the WG. - It will allow the WG to easily segregate the parts of its report that are targeted at the GNSO from those parts targeted at both the GNSO and ALAC. Moreover, it will allow a single report to go to the Board. There are two substantive content changes. - The section on investigating the $100k component of the fee has been removed. This was done at Cheryl's suggestion, but with the strong support of me and Olivier. I will let her present the rationale. - Avri had earlier suggested that the section on fund-raising and a possible foundation should be revised. I have included a new version from her. In the table, both the old and the new are presented for your review, and in the consolidated "clean" version, only the new. I have also included a single clean version of the proposed charter at the end of the document. Alan
