Hi--who will choose the RSS /blogs to be carried on the site? For
example, icannalac reflects a variety of views, with links to Danny
Younger's and Karl Auerbach's blogs among others. If the ALAC
committee selects the blogs to be carried can ICANN in ANY WAY refuse
to carry the RSS content?

Gosh-- posting to icannalac is ridiculously simple--easier than
posting to a wiki.
But back to the new site -- in the old days of alac.icann.org I
recall your boss Denise told us that "not even a comma" could be
changed on the official ALAC site without going through ICANN legal.
So, I gather that this policy has changed?
Nick, how do you see the workflow-- when if ever would ICANN legal
get involved with the new site?
If they have NO involvement whatsoever with content, that would be
reassuring to the ALAC community. Perhaps you could get a written
statement from Jeffries (ICANN Counsel) to that effect and we'd be
done here. Otherwise it is troubling to think that ICANN legal could
always shut the site down and leave the community without a home and
without access to its documents and discussions. Seems like the
confusion could easily be cleared up with a statement from Jeffries.

Thanks
JP
