A more recent version of the draft has essentially gutted ALAC's role
Speaking as the ALAC's former liaison to the GNSO (the position Alan now holds), the ALAC has *no* role in the GNSO, so there is nothing whatsoever to gut. The ALAC liaison is there as a non-voting member of the Council. From time to time, we have had some success is swaying the debate, but this is only because we made good arguments. Officially, we are only on the Council to exchange information back and forth. We have no vote. I don't know what the current draft shows, but virtually anything that required the ALAC/ALS views to be considered would be a step forward. -- Bret P.S. I'll read the report tomorrow and report back to the list again.
