Before my ALAC term ended last December I was floating the idea
of meeting in Las Vegas. Generally there are reasonably-priced flights
to there and same with the lower cost hotels there. It did seem like a
spot sort of in the middle of the accredited NA ALS's at the
time.
At 11:05 AM -0800 4/15/07, RJGlass | America@Large recently
said:
I agree with the process to proceed.
I wonder if there is a way to come to a consensus rather than relying
on the group emails?
So far as the face to face meetings, I would very much like to be in
attendance, however please realize that 2 of the NA ALSs are in
Honolulu. Travel to Yonkers is about a 6,000 mile trip. I
am planning to meet in San Juan, but maybe more central locations
would be better.

Following up on Luc's summary from Tuesday, copied below,
here's what I
see as the order for things to proceed...
(1) The first thing on which we need agreement is the terms of the
Draft
MOU with ICANN and the Draft Operating Principles.
Draft MoU with ICANN:
http://www.icannwiki.org/NA_RALO_MOU
Draft Operating Principles: http://www.icannwiki.org/NA_RALO_OP
If we can reach agreement on these online or by teleconference, we
really
shouldn't need an in-person meeting. As I understand the formation
process
from the other regions, the governing documents were the central focus
for
their face-to-face meeting. Here in North America, while we have a
handful
of languages spoken, most everyone has mastery of English, so we
should
have some added comfort in discussing the points and reaching
agreement.
(2) AFTER we've signed off on our chartering documents, and assuming
that
the adopted chartering documents look somewhat like they do now in
draft,
each individual ALS will need to name its representatives to the
General
Assembly.
(3) The General Assembly will elect its Chair.
(4) The Chair of the General Assembly will oversee the election of the
2
ALAC Representatives. Election and seating of ALAC
representatives.
(5) The Chair of the General Assembly will work with the ALAC, ICANN
Staff
and the General Assembly to select a permanent Secretariat to support
the
work of the NARALO.
Why don't we spend some time working through Item (1) on the list so
we
can see what still remains. If we have substantial disagreements about
how
things should work, we'll be able to spot those now and put them on
the
agenda for teleconferences and, if necessary, a face-to-face meeting
in
May.
