Here are some comments: 'ALAC in transition' seems to me should be the obvious theme of the meeting. Parceling out the time into microscopic segments will not allow any in-depth discussion. This is the longest meeting with the Board ALAC has had at least in the last two years and the opportunity should not be missed. So I suggest that instead of giving brief positions on a large number of issues, we allow half of the time to be spent on brainstorming with the Board about the future of ALAC and at-large representation. Other comments between the lines:
Jacqueline to Chair the meeting, Izumi assist Jacqueline as time-keeper
Do we need a time-keeper? Shouldn't the Chair do that? In any case the time-keeper should apply the same standards to himself/herself.
Introduction Jacqueline Acknowledgement and introduction for outgoing and incoming ALAC members New members introduction - what they expect to do RALO-elect ALAC members and NomCom-select ALAC members to say a few words, 2 min max [10 - 15 min?]
Why are we making this distinction between RALO-elect and NomCim select specially if they're allowed equal time?
ALAC in Transition- Veronica/Cheryl 3 min max Report on One day Workshop
I think this the most important part. Time should also be given to whoever else thinks has something to contribute.
Policy Areas share ALAC views*
*"ALAC" here means the collective voices with ALS and RALO community, not only 15-members.
ALAC has a well-defined legal definition; maybe you should change the title to "At-Large Views".
Followings are the list of topics and "speakers" who are responsible to prepare the draft sentences, hopefully in one or two paragraphs max this afternoon, circulate them online to the open list and the compile/edit them.
They will be the speakers on the subject at the meeting to introduce them. If other members have additional comments, dissenting opinions, they are free to add within limited timeframe. The Board may ask questions to us, or we may ask their opinions as a two-way dialogue.
