Hi Darlene Actually it seems as if there's more discussion on policy on the internal list recently (Delhi and lead up to) than there actually has been in the past 2 years. There's also a lot of policy discussion on the individual WG lists, and much less (almost none) on the public At Large list. If you recall, the call for the drafting of the At Large response on the JPA to be moved to the public list (and the actual moving) was done by Vittorio, Izumi and myself.

Hiya Jean,
Actually, since the Secretariats and Chairs were allowed into that internal list there has been a huge push on to move all policy development conversations over to the publicly accessable ALAC list. When too much conversation on policy matters happens there, there are several of us that speak up and say this. So, since the LA conference there really hasn't been much of that happening there. The internal list is now mainly used for strictly internal matters (like coordinating plans for who arrives when in Delhi and other things about who does what). There is an extremely strong voice on that list that demands transparency, me being one of them.

I am in complete agreement. So ironic the public participation guy wants to shut down public participation!! And by the way, speaking of transparency, is the "internal" ALAC list archived and available for view? I'd sure like to track all the policy development that goes on in there.
I feel another call for abandoning ALAC and creating an Internet User's Union or something else coming on-- Jean Armour Polly

Actually, towards the end of the 100 e-mails, there are actually some good suggestions coming forth. It may have been a painful process but sometimes pain=gain. If the PR person at ICANN's only suggestion is censorship then there is a serious problem here.

Also, for the record, I am greatly offended by Mr. Kieran McCarthy's tone on the At Large listserv. I will reserve comment on Kieren's general competence, given what were IMO serious mis-handling of a number of issues at the Delhi meeting (translations, web sites, outreach, public feedback, etc.).
On this issue, I strongly agree with Michael.
What do others think? I'm fully prepared to escalate Michael's complaint up the ICANN food chain.
