Hello Carlos,
Sorry Danny. please, when you inform about something, try to inform yourself first.
this group was wich made a GNSO improvement`s document from ALAC, but not wich made a last joint document with other constituencies neither negotiate secretly nothing.
In fact, your atitude make me feel very upset. I hope to have the opportunity to talk with you personally in the next meeting.
In this case at least, Danny far from alone in his anger on this issue, so I ask you to please do not take issue personally with him. There are numerous complains within NARALO on the document, the process used to achieve it, and the level of consultation with the general At-Large community. In the view of everyone who has expressed an opinion within NARALO, this is a major step backwards in the evolution of ALAC after a long and tortured period of progress. Unlike Danny I will make no assumptions regarding how things were actually done; however, based on what we have seen this issue has been handled in a totally unacceptable manner. It is a fact that late changes were made to the document that directly affect -- and refer to -- ALSs and RALOs without their awareness or consultation. The changes contain language that adversely affect ALAC's own participation in the proposed new GNSO. It is also a fact that these changes were not conveyed to us by ALAC, not to RALO secretariats nor to individual ALSs; it was only the diligence of a number of NARALO members that brought this serious news to our attention. And finally ... the fact that the deadline for public comments exists just a few days after the final draft was published is absolutely unconscionable. It is an abdication of the authors' responsibility to the At-Large community to offer so little time to respond. So, Carlos, please do not take this personally with Danny. At least within NARALO, the anger over this issue is both deep and widespread. It is highly likely that we will submit a response that completely disassociates us from the recommendations, and states that they do not have the support of the At-Large community (at least in our region). - Evan
