Thanks very much Robert and drafting group, A couple thoughts: Rule 12.2 -- I don't think a quorum should persist after members leave a meeting. There's already too great a tendency for ICANN meetings to drag on. Working with documents: The committee should delegate the drafting and re-drafting of documents to a secretariat or subcommittee, which should not attempt to make substantive decisions without the group, but should use list alternatives that have some support in [brackets] for the group as a whole to discuss and resolve. Even as a candidate for a liaison position, I still recommend making recalls easier. I've made my election procedure remarks before, and won't repeat them. --Wendy Robert Guerra wrote:
I'm attaching a - substantially - revised version of the internal ALAC rules of procedure that I circulated yesterday.
The updated document is pretty well a complete rewrite, one that incorporates :
* A better organization of the document * Section has been added to better define responsibilities & qualifications of Officers, Liaisons and appointments. * Officers, Liaisons and appointments need to file conflict of interest statement * A more detailed description of the duties of the chairperson * Updated Quorum section * Revised section on meetings * Code of conduct section has been added (as adopted by NA RALO)
Internal references still need to be fixed, so the document isn't quite yet "there" - but it is, in my opinion , substantially improved .
I look forward to comments (if any) from those of you in NA RALO..
