Good morning and happy holidays, everyone. It was less than a week ago that Beau sent his original message on this subject to the list. Thanks to his consultation, and some swift response from NARALO, the ALAC chair has withdrawn the original vote, changed the wording to remove all references to the Executive. While acknowledging the role of Internet users in other bodies such as the GNSO, the response still agrees that ALAC is "the appropriate organisational channel for the voice and concerns of the individual Internet user in ICANN process". Personally I'm quite fine with this wording but I know that Beau, Wendy and maybe others had concerns with it. My personal opinion is to approve the doc as it is now. - Evan
