Since the working groups exist to allow the regions to collaborate on At-Large-Wide statements on policy, the group itself, it seems to me, can certainly send the text in on behalf of the At-Large Community. ALAC, as an Advisory Committee to the Board, could separately send it to the Board to reinforce the position if it chooses to do so. On the wider note, perhaps the Secretariats and the ALAC may wish to discuss whether or not the ALAC needs to review the results of Working Groups. They are, after all, a bottom-up reflection of all regions; the RAA revisions have been widely circulated to the community for comments and the working groups are intended to be representative of all regions. Perhaps it may be thought more useful by the community for the ALAC to transmit working group results to the board in its role as an Advisory Committee if it wishes, but that the committee does not actually need to review the results of working groups in order for them to be taken forward to the community as the view of the At-Large community. I hope nobody will get demotivated by the current situation. The working group has worked hard to produce a thoughtful and comprehensive statement on the subject which is the purpose of having it in the first place, so it worked :) Whether or not a separate body does or doesn't endorse its work takes nothing away from the work itself, or those who generated it. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Office Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 Office Fax: +41 (22) 594 8544 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 5468 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart ----- Original message ----- From: "RJGlass | America@Large" <jipshida@gmail.com> To: "Thompson, Darlene" <DThompson@gov.nu.ca> Cc: alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org, RAA-WG@atlarge-lists.icann.org Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 21:39:44 -0400 Subject: Re: [RAA-WG] [At-Large] No fifth possibly final draft of RAAcomments I agree that this must be submitted on behalf of something.

... so the ALAC is useless and apparently doesn't really give a damn about protections for registrants -- no new revelations there...
At this point, just strike all remaining references to the ALAC and send in the document as a public contribution.
regards, Danny
P.S. ICANN closed the RAA Revisions Public Forum yesterday anyway.

I can't help but note that by my count 13 out of 15 ALAC members have said nothing about the RAA comments.
