"The ALAC requests that ICANN consider charging registrars part or all of the $0.22 fee for names deleted during the AGP."

Sorry to say, that I cannot find the minutes of the meeting in which this decision was agreed upon, nor can I find a recording of the San Juan meeting sessions.
How did the ALAC arrive at this particular recommendation without the benefit of any on-list discussion whatsoever?
What input did the RALOs have into the endorsement of this one specific recommendation? Why were other viable options not endorsed?
Is this an authorized statement? If so, why wasn't it issued by the chair?
Some answers would be appreciated.
Based on discussions during the first few days of meetings in San Juan, it became evident that there *might* be some positive effect of commenting on the budget prior to its approval which was scheduled for Friday, June 29th. I brought the suggestion to the ALAC in the presence of members from two RALO (and whoever else may have been calling in at the time). The idea was approved (in fact, I think I remember that there was an outbreak of applause). I consulted with the ALAC regarding the wording and posted it with the approval of the chair (who was rather occupied withmany other matters). The ALAC is empowered to act without consultation when it is required. The motion had the approval of (I believe all) RALO appointed ALAC members and I heard no formal or informal complaints from any ALS's present. For the record, the entire ICANN proposed budget had been posted for over a month, and this was the only comment *anyone* made on it - something I find rather astounding. Alan
