I think that its precisely because we have a decent amount of time with the Board that we should try to cover as many topics as possible so that they can hear the At-Large (NOT ALAC) POV on matters. I believe a time-keeper is absolutely necessary so that unending, protracted discussions don't happen again like in San Juan. That was a total fiasco and I don't want to see that again.

Parceling out the time into microscopic segments will not allow any in-depth discussion. This is the longest meeting with the Board ALAC has had at least in the last two years and the opportunity should not be missed. So I suggest that instead of giving brief positions on a large number of issues, we allow half of the time to be spent on brainstorming with the Board about the future of ALAC and at-large representation. Other comments between the lines:
Jacqueline to Chair the meeting, Izumi assist Jacqueline as time-keeper
Do we need a time-keeper? Shouldn't the Chair do that? In any case the time-keeper should apply the same standards to himself/herself.
Introduction - Jacqueline Acknowledgement and introduction for outgoing and incoming ALAC members New members introduction - what they expect to do RALO-elect ALAC members and NomCom-select ALAC members to say a few words, 2 min max [10 - 15 min?]
Why are we making this distinction between RALO-elect and NomCim select specially if they're allowed equal time?
ALAC in Transition- Veronica/Cheryl - 3 min max Report on - One day Workshop
I think this the most important part. Time should also be given to whoever else thinks has something to contribute.
Policy Areas - share ALAC views*
*"ALAC" here means the collective voices with ALS and RALO community, not only 15-members.
ALAC has a well-defined legal definition; maybe you should change the title to "At-Large Views".
Followings are the list of topics and "speakers" who are responsible to prepare the draft sentences, hopefully in one or two paragraphs max this afternoon, circulate them online - to the open list - and the compile/edit them.
They will be the speakers on the subject at the meeting to introduce them. If other members have additional comments, dissenting opinions, they are free to add - within limited timeframe. The Board may ask questions to us, or we may ask their opinions as a two-way dialogue.
1. New gTLDs - Wendy and Beau 2. gNSO improvement - Alan 3. Domain tasting, Domain name front running - Robert 4. geoTLDs - Annette 5. WHOIS - Wendy 6. IDNs - Hong - Annette 7. IPV4 and IPV6 - Izumi 8. Registrar Accreditation Agreements (RAAs), Registry Escrow - Beau 9. ccNSO issue area- Siavash 10. ALAC Review - Robert
ALAC Operations issues 1. Bylaws changes, outreach plan - Alice and Mohamed ? (Robert to contact them) 2. Budgets- Cheryl and Annette 3. introducing the Secretariat (to be discussed tonight on how to)
Thanks,
