1. Yes I agree that Staff needs to have primary responsibility but surely we are to assist with at least content curation. 2. In terms of number of publications, my instincts favour 3 times a year, initially. Why? More frequent iterations may be placing a bit too much on Staff in addition to their pre-existing obligations. Also, three times a year naturally dovetails with the public meeting schedule. In terms of timing, I suspect publication in the period after the 3 ICANN Meetings may be best since it will provide a chance for us to collate and disseminate key outcomes of those meetings in addition to the key high-level updates from RALOs. Also, depending on how much time passes between a public meeting and when we publish, it will certainly serve as a conversation piece to keep our work ‘top of mind’ for the Board and other interested groupings, in-between meetings. If this low frequency publication schedule is met with positive feedback (and there are willing and eager hands) then we consider ramping up the publication schedule.

I agree with Bart or others - three - or maximum four - newsletters a year And he makes a good case for three - to coincide with the ICANN meetings, when ALAC is in one place and can set aside a bit of time to discuss the contents. If RALOs also publish a news letter as well, so much the better. But a good, interesting and regular publication will be a big plus for ALAC Holly On 19 Feb 2018, at 3:02 am, <bartlett.morgan@gmail.com> <bartlett.morgan@gmail.com> wrote:

Folks

Yes, we will ned some staff support. But one thing we can easily do is that, when we respond to PDPs, in the response, include in an introductory paragraph what we are saying - not that difficult. And maybe point out to Cherine that we already have a policy page (thanks to Ariel) where what we have said is organised by various topics - a start at least.
