Honestly, I don't think there is much chance of this at the moment. The GNSO Liaison is still in pilot and the poor (to put it mildly) communications between the GAC and the GNSO made the case rather compelling.

But I will raise the issue with Thomas.

Dear Jean-Jacques,

that's correct. Now the GAC Chair has changed, as Alan mentions, a
private chat between him and the GAC Chair would probably be a good
first step.
It is worth noting that the GAC calls this a "reverse liaison". The GAC
is currently in its 2nd year of pilot trial of a reverse liaison from
the GNSO, a position held by Mason Cole.
Kindest regards,

Olivier

 In or around 2012 I suggested the establishment of a Liaison from ALAC to GAC.

 If I remember, this idea was taken up by Olivier with his counterpart in GAC, whose reply was negative or, at best, inconclusive. Olivier, is that correct?

 Maybe the mood in GAC has changed: it would be worthwhile approaching the new GAC Chair with this
proposal.

 Best regards,
 Jean-Jacques.
