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.

Jean Polly
