Hi--who will choose the RSS /blogs to be carried on the site? For example, icannalac reflects a variety of views, with links to Danny Younger's and Karl Auerbach's blogs among others. If the ALAC committee selects the blogs to be carried can ICANN in ANY WAY refuse to carry the RSS content?

...

The design of the new site was deliberately based around the concept that the site for a constituency should reflect that constituency's views, and allow dynamic content development in a way that the current architecture does not. In fact, the process of posting content to the new site will in many ways be simpler than what is currently the case for icannalac.org.

Gosh-- posting to icannalac is ridiculously simple--easier than posting to a wiki. But back to the new site -- in the old days of alac.icann.org I recall your boss Denise told us that "not even a comma" could be changed on the official ALAC site without going through ICANN legal. So, I gather that this policy has changed? Nick, how do you see the workflow-- when if ever would ICANN legal get involved with the new site? If they have NO involvement whatsoever with content, that would be reassuring to the ALAC community. Perhaps you could get a written statement from Jeffries (ICANN Counsel) to that effect and we'd be done here. Otherwise it is troubling to think that ICANN legal could always shut the site down and leave the community without a home and without access to its documents and discussions. Seems like the confusion could easily be cleared up with a statement from Jeffries.

Thanks JP
