1. Two of the North American elected reps were not in attendance (Beau and Robert). Beau sent through his apologies in advance of the meeting. 2. Having neither seen apologies from Robert nor his monthly SSAC liaison report (as far as I know the last one he submitted was in May), the NARALO needs to decide on an appropriate course of action. 3. The ALAC heard from Pierre Dandjinou and Marilyn Cade of the PSC. 4. Staff failed to organize a briefing session on the RAA amendments as requested. 5. No NCUC nor ccTLD liaison report was provided. 6. No RALO reports were provided. 7. No Working Group reports were provided 8. No ad-hoc committee reports were provided 9. No issues were raised for the ICANN Board meeting 10. The process for putting items on the ALAC agenda was not discussed 11. As no ALAC members are willing to discuss whether the proposed RAA amendment package should be approved by the GNSO, the topic will be put up as a poll to ALAC members (who can click on a choice without having to otherwise express their views). Alan Greenberg continued to press forward with his opinion that the RAA amendements package (unacceptable to most of us as a whole) should be accepted as a complete package. 12. The other topics on the agenda that could not be discussed will in similar fashion be taken to a polling process and once again we will not hear any ALAC member discussion of these topics nor will we likely see any on-line discussion. 13. Vanda Scartezini was nominated to serve on the GNSO's Operational Steering Committee (OSC) Working Group 14. The ALAC continues to pretend that there is a process in place for receipt of local and regional comments on new gTLDs, and will collect these non-existent ALS comments and will produce yet another Statement reflecting the views of one or two people by the end of the extended comment period. 15. Once again the ALAC was barely quorate with almost half of their members not attending the meeting. 16. The newly ratified ALAC Executive Committee put forward no report. 17. The ALAC Letter to the Board on Public Participation was finally posted today. Of course, it failed to include a request to hear from the newly established Board Committee on Public Participation.
