      It was truncated.Should have read

      They shall accept, while acting in their capacity as an ALAC representative, to put the collective views of the ALAC, always, in front of their own.

      Fixed now.

      I think that "anyway" is proper albeit an unusual construct.

    4.1 Says that other Liaisons are selected according to the same rules as that of the GNSO LIaison. For which there are NO rules.

    Obviously 4.2 goes...

    In 4.8, I think that the restriction should be clarified. Specifically:

    • A Liaison should communicate the views of the ALAC, to the extent that such views are known (formulated). To the extent that topics are foreseen, where practical, such view should be solicited ahead of time.
    • To the extent that the Liaison's statements are made solely on their own behalf, that should be made clear to the body in which they are participating (awkward sentence structure, but hopefully intent is clear).In the even that there are stated ALAC views and those differ from those of the Liaison, that position must be made explicitly clear.
