Evan, I believe that we *have* ratified the OP and Code of Conduct.  That didn't need to be approved by ICANN staff as it was the NARALO Operating Principals and Code of Conduct and ICANN has no say in same.  The MOU is totally different as it is an agreement between the NARALO and ICANN.
 
Danny, if outreach was to be done, why was it not done in the last few years when there were people sitting on their hands on this list and not doing it.  Outreach is up to the ALSs.  If that hasn't been done yet, I cannot see that by throwing up this artificial and transparent roadblock now is acceptable.
 
I understand how upset you must be at not being approved as an ALS but please stop trying to stymie this process that the majority of us want to pursue.

I don't think that anything has been formally ratified -- that requires
agreement by both NARALO members and ICANN staff.  Having said that,  it
appears that we've generally agreed on wording for the OP and are close
to it on the MOU.

Unless there are some serious roadblocks -- most of which have been
cleared AFAIK -- ratification could come as early as the in-person
meeting on Sunday.
