Perhaps your comments to the committee about improving ALACs approval process predated my involvement - or perhaps I need more coffee. In either case, in this public forum, may I suggest that the present time would be ideal to forward them for discussion?
Sure, I repeat my earlier suggestion that we adopt a "default approve" policy for ALS applications. Applicants should be deemed to meet the requirements and therefore approved unless specific reasons of non-compliance are identified. If no one on the ALAC has actively voiced objections and called for a vote by the deadline, we approve the applicant. --Wendy -- Wendy Seltzer -- wendy@seltzer.org Visiting Assistant Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School Fellow, Berkman Center for Internet & Society http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/seltzer.html http://www.chillingeffects.org/
