Nick, I have a day job and I do not have time to be consulting the Wiki all the time - especially for a page I didn't even know existed or should exist. I also find it almost impossible to find ANYTHING at all on there. And English is my mother tongue. I REALLY feel for the other regions. Or am I just really new and stupid? Since we have a Secretariats list, perhaps important pages like this can be flagged to the Secretariats so that they can then choose which ones to clutter their region's in-boxes with. I *know* how busy you are but I think that this is kinda important.
There are two questions here to my mind: 1) Can we (staff, Secretariats, ALAC) coordinate more effectively - and can staff support facilitate better coordination? 2) Can online resources be leveraged more effectively to provide information faster? I have no doubt the answer to both these questions is "YES!" And of course a part of the whole point of having Secretariats and ALAC in LA is to work on just this kind of issue. On (2) there is ongoing work to help make the online tools both richer and easier to use (also in one place...). One thing is a bit worrying though, the link to the page for Nomcom 2008 is smack in the middle in large letters on st.icann.org/alac. Perhaps you're looking somewhere else?
