<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Great ideas that Alan is sharing with all.<br><br></div>I am a member of ISOC-Puerto Rico which is also an At-Large member of ICANN (NARALO). I mention this because, through the Internet Society Platform, we can communicate using Connect pertinent information to our membership. This includes ICANN information.

Subject: [ALAC] Document for discussion during Friday's ALS Expectations session<br>
To: ALAC <<a href="mailto:alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org">alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org</a>><br>
<br>
<br>
Over the last months I have done a lot of thinking and talking about<br>
how to make ALSes effective - specifically to set reasonable<br>
expectations that will allow At-Large and its ALSes to be critical and<br>
useful parts of the ICANN ecosystem.<br>
<br>
Please find attached an analysis of where I think we are today, why we<br>
are here, and how we should move forward.<br>
<br>
I believe that we need a realistic plan and we should not just wait<br>
for the independent review to tell us what to do.<br>
<br>
Alan<br>
