Re icannalac.org
ICANN sent a document asking for specific information as to why that
project should be funded – we needed to provide compelling reasons. I
didn’t have any personally and no one on the ALAC submitted any for
me to forward to Denise, so the response to Denise that I sent was basically –
we don’t have any of this information at this time (given that the
ALAC had voted to keep the site in general) and we left it at that.
There was some interest in the NA list on reinvigorating it in
August 2007, but I don’t know what came of it.
Most of the information has been updated on the wiki. The
alac.icann.org front page should be updated to link to the relevant wiki pages
for the most up to date information.

Subject: Re: [At-Large] ALAC participation
- The http://www.icannalac.org/ site is horribly out of date - it appears nothing new has been posted for 12 months
The last posting occurred Dec 2006 as I left ALAC when my
term expired through my Nomcom appointment.
When I left, I created several guides for the next person I assumed
would step up to be webmom or dad of the site. I offered transitional help. I
offered passwords to the chair.
At this time I offer them again.
The ALAC chair can have author privileges for posting to
this independent site at any time. The chair can authorize the webmaster to
give author privileges to anyone at any time. The chair can authorize anyone to
be the "publisher" of all submitted content. Every ALS can have their
own page, with author privileges. Every RALO has their own page. The site is in
Joomla and it is easy to post an article to it. It just takes a commitment of
time to be the "publisher" of submitted content.
The chair should contact Larry Polly
<larry@pollywood.org> who is under contract from ICANN to provide
software updates/technical maintenance to this site. He does not do content,
which was my job.
After I got off ALAC, there was a movement to hire me to
continue to provide content, with a small stipend, since I would no longer get the
ALAC perk of the travel. However, I haven't heard anything about that for
months.
Thanks for the opportunity to clarify things.
