remember the paris meeting last year? i made a statement on the panel, that not a single one of my statements found its way into the westlake review (and i spent a whole lot of time in interview with and sending material and proposals to them).
as i was very much involved in setting up the ralos as the chair of alac, tricia said that the board governance committee's alac review working group would be very interested in listening to my analysis of structural problems of the alac and of staff as well as to my proposals for improvement. as is said i would not spent anymore time in online comments, she promised i would be called by the alac review working group. i have never been called.
On the positive side, Tricia and the BGC have essentially gutted the worst of Westlake and produced a recommendaton I can support as a step in the right direction. I can't say that they heard your specific comments but they obviously did heed some of the comments that disputed Westlake's report. The Cairo response to the ALAC review process was far more positive than it was in Paris. - Evan
