[council] FW: ALAC Statement on GNSO WG Guidelines

[Alan Greenberg]

I *think* I understand the rationale behind the 
specific wording, but I will seek clarification to make sure that I am correct.

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.
