I share Evan's concern: Evan wrote: "It is necessary to request the entire ALAC to take responsibility for its creation. Personally I believe that this document illustrates an *inevitable* tendency for an ExCom to assume -- in the name of expediency -- power it was not authorized to take. As such, it may be justification for immediate dissolution of the Executive Committee." I join Evan and others in expressing my disgust at the situation and call upon the NARALO to consider this resolution: Whereas the ALAC's Executive Committee has forwarded an ALAC Statement prior to its ratification by member vote; Whereas the ALAC's Executive Committee has denied the at-large community a suitable public comment period for this Statement (giving us only two days to comment and no opportunity to propose amendments or changes); Whereas the Executive Committee has engaged in ex-parte non-transparent discussions pertaining to the ALAC agenda that deny members a process by which matters may be placed on the agenda; Whereas the ALAC Executive Committee seeks to usurp powers that it has not been granted; Resolved, the ALAC Executive Committee is to be immediately dissolved.
