It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the substance of your comments of course, but with respect to the technical issues: there is no impediment to anyone on ALAC or the RALOs joining Excom calls (which is of course why their agendas are public and their meetings are announced). Sure, and that much is appreciated. However, it's still a group of closed membership, taking on a role that has no business being assigned to a group of closed membership.
I've already experienced ALAC meetings at which my "hand up" isn't recognized until all "official" members have exhausted themselves. I would expect ExecComm meetings to be even a further step removed from full participation. And meeting attendance, just for the sake of being in the audience, is not a good use of my time. - Evan
