Enhancing the effectiveness of the Multistakeholder model: key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation, and work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the MSM (such as the ATRT3 report and work on prioritization and budgeting).

The only engagement with the Board and it's THIS?

Not policy?

Not lessons learned from the .ORG debacle?

Not the fine-but-critical line between registrant privacy and accountability?

Not even the impasse on closed-freaking-generics?

More "how do we make ourselves better?" bike-shedding? REALLY? THIS is what they chose?

That topic has been done ad nauseum through many, many previous iterations without much to show for it. New speakers. New buzzwords. Old complaints. Short memories. Until next time, see ya.

This choice kinda proves that the Board doesn't really care much what At-Large has to say about substance.

I understand that for people new to ALAC, this seems like a fresh chance to say something never been said. But the veterans should know better, they've been on this treadmill long enough to know how little it accomplishes.
