Are there any specific recommendations on how to improve the recommendations of the Working Group Work Team final report by the ALAC that should be considered by the Council. As you know, this process has been going on for so long now, we need to deal with specifics rather than position statements at this stage.<br><br>We can discuss more next week.<br><br>Thanks.<br>

I *think* I understand the rationale behind the specific wording, but I
will seek clarification to make sure that I am correct.<br><br>
I believe that the ALAC is supporting the current process, and suggesting
that the GNSO be even more pro-active, specifically with the ACs which do
not routinely participate. The ALAC has been active in such WG over
the last several years, but the same cannot be said for the other
ACs. History indicates that public calls for participation alone
are generally not sufficient.<br><br>

The current document (Section 2.1.1) states that when there is a Working
Group a “Call for Volunteers†will be circulated “as widely as
possible in order to ensure broad representation and participation in the
Working Group.â€Â This includes “Distribution of announcement to
GNSO Stakeholder groups, Constituencies and/or other Supporting
Organizations and Advisory Committees.â€<br>
<br>
It sounds as if the ALAC is just affirming their support, but it would be
helpful to get some clarity.<br><br>
Thanks.<br>

Guidelines<br>
<br>
I'm not sure I understand the concerns regarding the involvement of
the<br>
ACs. All stakeholders have been invited/permitted to be involved in
GNSO<br>
policy WGs since we've been using them with or without guidelines.
Is<br>
the ALAC simply encouraging that to continue, or are there specific<br>
concerns that the guidelines are lacking in that regard?<br><br>
