Web Pages, Wikis, and Member Management System
Currently several different ITT projects are to be managed by an external vendor, including: ALS application management system, enhancement of the mailing list archives and the multilingual mailing list interface (asking Google for their translation system), consolidation of the Doodle voting management, calendaring system allowing registrations to events, finishing the migration of the static pages that are not currently on Wiki to the main Web site.
Centralizing all the ALSes in a list with pointers to their Web sites (i.e Google.map doc and tags system) would be a significant improvement compared to the actual situation. Alac will see with the RALO leaders for the setting-up of A4 ALSes contact pages. Staff will inform ALAC about the state of progress on the above ITT projects.
ALAC will talk with the RALO leaders about a A4 information page per ALSes with contacts and other details. N Ashton-Hart will keep ALAC posted on progress regarding the external vendor for the IT projects planned.

ALAC Voting Processes and Secrecy (re: BigPulse)
The current electronic vote system Big Pulse does not allow seeing who has voted and the option they have voted for. In order to emulate votes in meetings, the voting system should be improved to see at any time how the voting is progressing, who has voted for what, and send reminders, when needed, before the vote is closed. Members are requested to look at A Greenberg’s proposal and make their comments over the next fourteen days. Decision on it will occur at the next meeting.
Call for Comment on New Consumers Constituency Petition and Charter
The Chair moved that the ALAC support the Charter and Petition. A Greenberg seconded the motion. The Chair called for any objections or abstentions. None being registered, the motion was adopted by consensus.
