The ALAC, in order to promote engagement by the Internet end-user community in policy advice development, resolves upon the following procedure when a draft Statement of the ALAC is to be opened for comment by the At-Large community:
When a draft statement has been produced, the Staff are to:
1. Copy the draft to the read-only wiki ‘ALAC-Docs’.
2. Insert a chapeau at the top indicating:
-
- The draft nature of the text;
- The deadline for comments as communicated to the Staff;
- That comments may be left by the public At-Large through use of the ‘Comment’ button at the top of the page.
- That the relevant working group (including the URL of the same) will take comments into account in producing a final text for the ALAC to vote upon.
3. Send a notification of the opening of the At-Large comment period to the ALAC-Announce list, and the ALAC public list, including the relevant information, in particular the deadlines for comments to be left, the URL of the statement text, and the text of the statement.
4. When the comment period has ended, the Staff shall send a reminder to the relevant working group list and public ALAC list, reminding the recipients of the deadline for producing a draft statement for the ALAC to vote upon.
I'd recommend that the text itself be included in the email. --Wendy
