I think ALAC (ALS and RALOs) should see the review as a great opportunity to show what that can do. That the Nominating Committee's being reviewed at the same time might be seen as an opportunity: what can the RALOs and ALS contribute to the NomCom, could the play a greater role in making selections? (NomCom's missed named: it's a selection committee.) NomCom (I'm the associate chair, but speaking for myself not the committee) held a workshop in Lisbon. Not very well attended, but Vint Cerf's comments are worth noting <http://www.icann.org/meetings/lisbon/transcript-nomcom-28mar07.htm>
VINT CERF: It occurs to me -- I can't predict this, of course, but it occurs to me that if we are successful with the rapidly forming RALO structure that some day we might imagine that board members might be appointed by those RALOs.
We're not there yet. But is it possible that we can now go to the formed RALOs and say, in emulation of what might ultimately occur, can you supply recommendations for people to serve on the ALAC. (end quote) Not the first time I've heard Vint mention this possibility. ALAC proving that it really does enable "individual Internet users' informed participation in ICANN" would be a good challenge for the review. It's not clear to me how how that really happens.

Mi Querida Jacqueline:
obviously my intention wasn't to be negative, only to express my opinion about that, in my short experience on that.
I'm sure that every work is positive in all sense or could result positive, I hope that this intent to be one of them.
but also is evident the asincronismo of this procedure, and I have some doubts if the results will be efficient in some topics for the reasons that I gave in my first mail.
It's only a comment. I'm thinking in a high voice.

Hola Carlos Actually, the RALO structure for AtLarge was supposed to start ages ago. They have only just got going after a little more than 3 years. And the review was supposed to be after 3 years, I think. So the timing is a little off, but we should be positive, and hope that the review takes the newness of the RALOs into consideration. Actually, we have to push and start doing work as well. At least, that's what I think, for what it's worth :) Jacqueline Sent via BlackBerry service from bmobile

I think, particularly, the revision arrives behind schedule or very early, but certainly out of time . ALAC has got another structure now, with the inclusion of RALOs, and in fact those RALOs haven't started to work yet.

I totally agree with you Adam - that's what I'd love to come out of the review.
Franck, the RALO structure for ALAC was set up a while ago. We just got the RALOs going after 3 years, but the review is overdue (per Adam's response), so it seems weird, but it's just the timing.
Jacqueline
Quoting Adam Peake <ajp@glocom.ac.jp>:
because ICANN's bylaws require all supporting organizations, councils etc to be reviewed on a regular basis, and the ALAC structures haven't yet been reviewed, and are behind schedule for review
<http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#IV-4: <http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#IV-4> >.
This might be a positive step. With RALOs in place, an outcome might be to allow for more direct representation rather than the current rather weak and indirect liaison structure. Perhaps...
Thanks,
Adam

Why does ICANN set up a new structure with RALOs and then decide to review it, before they even did any work?
I'm certainly confused here.
