ALAC policy briefings at future meetings
ALAC members, I welcome the opportunity to convey policy interests and positions from the At Large to the Board. Unfortunately, Board members came away from their meeting with ALAC with a sense that the ALAC focused primarily on procedural issues rather than prioritizing policy discussion. If ALAC wants to say that it has not heard user concern or cannot find evidence of individual Internet user interests on policy matters, that is fine, but if the group is engaged in policy discussions, even those in progress, I get the sense that Board members would prefer to get a briefing on such issues than to hear procedural debates or be asked to answer questions.

We may take this into account for our next chance in prioritizing our agenda.
