To the extent that the effort involves purely coordination, I can help with that - chasing people for contributions etc. The development of the draft text is, I would submit, perhaps best done in the first instance by those in ALAC familiar with the issues in question, and only by the staff in the case that nobody has the time to do this work (though, perhaps, as these first drafts are just that - drafts - and completely subject to amendment, perhaps in some ways it is less important who is the first drafter... I have put a first-draft of an Agenda together for the ALAC teleconference on the ALAC Working Wiki. On 01/03/07, Vittorio Bertola <vb@bertola.eu> wrote:

Dear All:
May I suggest to you that the At-Large community has a unique opportunity at the upcoming Lisbon meeting to agree a few resolutions on key issues which are in the public and icann policy 'Eye' at the moment. With at least two RALO MoUs being concluded, and likely the European one too, the conference will have a big spotlight on the community.
I think that your suggestion is good. I also think that we desperately need leadership to this effect. Annette's illness is unfortunate, and we need someone to write down a todo list with actions and deadlines, force people to sign up for items, and push them until they deliver on time. And we need it now, if we want to make it by Lisbon. As all volunteer groups, this is an individual-driven effort, so I would suggest that any of us who feels like doing it, and especially those who would like to serve as Vice Chairs, takes this task upon him/her. (I mean - I can do it if you wish, but we really need to create new leadership, not rely on the old one...) -- vb.
