Dear Vittorio, Probably you don't know that Izumi's term is only ONE year (from 2007) but he was not able to function in 2 months, which is 1/6 of his term. Is that still reasonable? Besides, he never ever, in 2008, attended any monthly call of APRALO, which is the RALO that elected him to the ALAC. Isn't that already 9 months? I understand you have great sympathy to him or the others (for instance, someone in the interim ALAC did not function for a year but was not removed), but cannot help letting you know the truth.

Vittorio, thanks for your thoughtful comments. I have been trying to participate in ALAC as much as possible, yet the last two months I know my level of prticipation was lower than average. I got a new project to launch, among others, have to travel a lot (mostly domestically), had to deal with rather seriouos online defamation, etc etc, and even I was aware of certain events, I could not particiapte, and I also missed other events, such as one vote, as I was not paying sufficient attention. I missed to read on email and that is it.
That is why I said that you need at least six - nine months to make an evaluation. It can happen that people have a busy period; problems start to happen only when people cannot attend for half of their 2-year term or so. This can happen for very valid reasons and in complete good faith, nonetheless in this case there is a need to act, or the ALAC will not be able to function and will be criticized (as usual) as a bunch of people who are only eager to claim travel funds. -- vb.
