Dear All: Just to summarise what I understand the process will be to operationalise At-Large responding to the many policy initiatives and working groups which are created throughout ICANN: 1) New working group or policy development process is constituted in an area of ICANN external to At-Large 2) I am informed of the existence, mandate, and any home URL by the Policy staff. 3) I post a notice at the ALAC Wiki, in the Policy Working Groups section of the site and send an email to all the regional discuss lists asking for volunteers to work on the issue, together with 1 (or more) concerned ALAC members. 4) At-Large staff then ensure that the online working arrangements for the At-Large working groups are created (mailing lists, other tools as needed ) and help arrange for necessary information about the working groups' source to be linked to the At-Large presence. At-Large staff organises teleconferences and the like as needed. 5) The At-Large WG reports get disseminated for the wider AL community for comment (if applicable). The work of the AL WGs gets documented in their online 'microsite' within the wiki for the time being. We start by issuing a call for those who wish to work with Hong on IDNs to respond. Committee members please let me know if you think I've got any of this wrong. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom UK Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
