quick comments... - coordinating the may NA meeting. Who is the lead person. I've traditionally corresponded with Jacob and other NA ALS's about such matters. should i continue to do so, or not? I'm confused by the earlier reference to a North American Liason staffer. Know there's a Canadian liason, but was not aware there was a NA one as well. Has Jacob been promoted to cover both Canada, the Caribbean & USA? - Phone meeting, of course is always an option. structured well, it could be as productive - if not more than a face to face meeting. - as this is a NA issue, can the matter be confined to the NA list? Getting duplicate messages is , well, a bit of a nuisance. regards, Robert --- Robert Guerra <rguerra@privaterra.org> Managing Director, Privaterra Tel +1 416 893 0377 On 11-Apr-07, at 3:01 PM, Wendy Seltzer wrote:

Hi Darlene
We have 3 options, I think: NY on the original days (clashes with the Montreal meeting) NY on different days (before or after ) Montreal before or after the Montreal meeting.
4. Meet by phone.

We haven't got info from Robert/Luc on the details of setting up a meeting in Montreal yet, though.

I will be applying to be on that working group immediately - thank you!
Now, perhaps we could stay on topic. I WAS around for the lack of discussion that happened around the Vancouver meeting as was Michael Miranda and others.
We need to discuss whether we are going to have this meeting or not and where.

Frankly, Wendy, I didn't like the way the rest of the ALSs were shut out of the decision making process for the Vancouver meeting. It was vetoed by very few people when the rest seemed to want it. At least this time around it is going by group concensus rather than the GROUP being shut out of the process. Much better in my mind and much more transparency.
Perhaps you weren't on the discussion list when it was discussed and consensused down, but we tried to work transparently.
I'd love to have your input on policy discussions on the ALAC list, too! How about WHOIS privacy issues?

From what I can see, ICANN has been working very hard to get things happening despite certain ones trying there best to hold others back. ICANN even sent their Ohmbudsman to the Vancouver meeting. It was interesting at the Vancouver meeting that not one of the "old guard" ALSs, with the exception of Michael Miranda, even bothered to take part by distance. Frankly I think that this shows a dismal lack of regard to the new and emerging ALSs that a face to face meeting could change.
Thank you, ICANN, for your continuing financial support for these efforts.
