"We can't be bothered to vote; so just send us the travel vouchers for Cairo"
by Danny Younger Nov. 4, 2008

Nov. 4, 2008

In another fine display of participant zeal, eight ALAC members decided to ignore yet another ALAC vote -- this time on the Overview Report on the ALAC Review. Those listed below (more than half of the ALAC) did not bother to vote: 1 Izumi Aizu 2 Annette Muehlberg 3 Carlos Aguirre 4 Jose Ovidio Salgueiro 5 Hawa Diakite 6 Thu Hue Nguyen 7 Vanda Scartezini 8 Fatimata Seye Sylla Kudos to the ALAC Chair for the great results obtained under the new "Remedial" participation policy. At this rate, the ALAC will be dead and buried soon.

I would like to nominate Robert Guerra for the position of SSAC liaison. I think that he has done a good job and that continuity of this work is strengthening not only ALAC work but will be of real help for ICANN's security and Stability Advisory Committee. Annette

Jaqueline and Adam are right. But I think that not only ALAC memberŽs but also PierreŽs understanding of his role is - that he is expected to have a good working relationship with the ALAC.
