Hello Alan, If it can be arranged that such services are provided by Staff via the Announce List, then of course there would be no need to ask the NARALO Secretariat for such. Can such arrangements be made? --- On Tue, 6/7/11, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> wrote:

When there is some region-specific need to communicate, it should come from regional people. However, most or all of what you are describing should be sent to all At-Large folks, via either the ALAC-Announce or At-Large mailing lists.
A quick check of the Announce archive shows that at least some of this is being done. But clearly not all that should be done.
Is there really a need to echo this on the regional list when there is not a specific NA work-product in mind? Anyone receiving such a message can clearly take up the subject on the regional list if they feel the need.

Hello Darlene,
My comment was not meant to imply any current deficiency of service, rather it asked for enhanced service. By that I mean the following:
when significant reports or notifications from the community emerge (such as the JAS Milestone report) it would be appreciated if the Secretariat might be able to direct our attention to those items.
timely reminders that scheduled ALAC and/or ICANN public comment periods are about to expire would also be a helpful addition.
it might also be helpful if pointers could be provided to ALAC Statements as they are released.
Hoping that you accept these suggestions in the spirit intended.
