I did not get comments from ALAC members, and I agree with you that this might just be silence=consent, but when no one sends anything it leaves you a bit lost;
Somehow I doubt that there's really that little interest in RAA issues. I'd have expected the European members to weigh in on the registrant data privacy issue, for example. Lack of participation has always been a problem. When I was on the ALAC, there was a distinct tendency for members to stop paying attention until it was time to buy plane tickets, in some cases not even then, so there was a burst of activity around the in-person meetings, and otherwise pretty much nothing. Vittorio was one of the few to stay consistently active. It's a fundamental problem with the idea of the ALAC that all of the members are doing it in their spare time, since if it's part of your day job you don't belong in ALAC. Yet the way it's set up, there's a lot of work involved in keeping track of what's going on and staying well enough informed to make useful comments. I hope ALAC can organize itself with a strong enough chair and secretariat to keep a schedule of pending activities and deadlines, of which as Danny reminds us there are many, so that ALAC members are at least expected to say explicitly that they have no comments if they don't. Also, now that there are RALOs, it would make sense to ask RALO members to work on specific areas of interest to them so the ALAC members don't have to invent everything on their own. Good luck, it'll be hard, and it's never really worked before. R's, John
