I am sorry that I didn't notice this before. Please note that the NARALO is presently in contravention of its Rules of Procedures, namely: 8. The Secretariat will have administrative and informative functions. It will be responsible for maintaining a working communications system and for ensuring the information flux about the issues under discussion between the NARALO participants. The person(s) fulfilling the function of Secretariat to the NARALO shall be ineligible to simultaneously serve as the Chair of the General Assembly. https://community.icann.org/display/NARALO/NARALO+Operating+Principles+NA-20... I believe this should be addressed immediately. I cannot believe that we cannot get someone to substitute into one or the other role (not me) so that one person doesn't have to shoulder the entire burden and for other very good reasons. Just a suggestion, D On Fri, Apr 10, 2015 at 2:22 PM, ICANN At-Large Staff < staff@atlarge.icann.org> wrote:
