Member of the RALO , either ALS or individual - some RALOs have individual members (we haven't seen this yet, but NARALO will have individual members - not sure how they will pick their reps to attend - I doubt that each individual member will be able to attend, probably more likely a person or 2 to represent the individuals ) For the other regions, I'm not sure how individuals are represented (would need to look at all the documents, as it's different in each region). It's potentially infinite, yes. But right now it's quite manageable. As we grow, we will have to really consider how we do this.

Sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding here. My apologies for helping to create one.
good to talk it through.. i hope i'm not the only one who doesn't know how these things work!
For the regional meetings, EACH ALS may designate one delegate. This means that not one or two people are coming from the regions, but much larger numbers.
you mean every ALS? but, isn't that in theory an infiinite number? i mean, how does ALAC manage a budget for an unknown quantity such as number of ALSs' ? (should i take this offline?)
As to who chooses to go: each ALS chooses who their delegate is.
yes, well that would make sense, just wondering about the money but, what it does mean in principle, is that you can only get funding to attend ICANN through ALAC is you are a member of an ALS yes? this also sheds a bit of light on the suggestion from adam to add a fund to the ICANN general grant - they are clearly for different types of purpose - but, it makes me wonder about people who are potentially interested in ALAC, and may not be able to find their way in via an ALS.. maybe (in future, for discussion etc) there's scope for the odd grant to cover these people.. karen karen _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac_atlarge-lists.icann.org www.alac.icann.org www.icannalac.org No virus found in this incoming message.
