[euralo-tf-als-engagement] Improving participation on EURALO monthly calls

Thu Aug 4 12:21:43 UTC 2016

Hi Bastiaan,

You're welcome!  An ALAC Task Force  is working on the criteria and expectations  and, among other things, trying to make them more specific https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ALS+Criteria+and+Expectations+Taskforce

<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ALS+Criteria+and+Expectations+Taskforce>

Best,

Yrjö

Thanks, Yrjö!

Excellent, very helpful, I’m learning all the time - although the requirements, with regard to active participation, are not as specific as I’d hoped for ;-)

cheers,
Bastiaan

I tried to find these requirements, it would help me to frame/scope what we as a TF want to achieve, but no success. I even went through the ICANN bylaws - for the 1st time which in itself was a good and interesting exercise. Can you share where these minimum requirements are listed?
