Mohammed is the 4th member from the ALAC side to join the list. Alac has been asked by Board to draft a status report on Idn Gtlds and the WG is prioritising drafting this. Hong said that it would be helpful to make a comment on the new Gtld Process and that if someone wanted to take the lead the Idn WG would be more than happy to draft a paragraph for inclusion.

Policy Matters
Policy Working Group -
Update on Consultation on the RAA (from ICANN Board resolution in San Juan) - Vittorio has set up the Registrar Accreditation WG, he has not been able to get dates of when contributions should be submitted from the Board. Danny Younger has been preparing a summary on the RAA, effectively an end user friendly guide to the subject but has been unable to complete it. Nick asked that if anyone knew of anyone else with the requisite knowledge and interest to write a summary that they send names and contacts to him. Vittorio thinks we will need to prepare something by the end of August. ICANN Staff will review the proposal, anyone interested will get on a call and whatever staff is available will come on to answer questions etc.
Update on Consultation on GNSO Improvements -
Update on Consultation on IDNs ( from ICANN Board Resolutions in San Juan) -
Other Matters From Previous Meetings
Working Practices of the Committee - Division of Labour / Subcommittees (from 28 June 2007) - Jacqueline suggests setting up a WG to get back to ALAC for the end of August. Scope would be to set up sub committees to come back to ALAC in August with proposal for what needs to be done. Robert, Cheryl, Annette and Jacqueline agreed to be on WG, Wendy proposed Veronica, the group will work to the beginning of the 1st week of August so that people have a week to read before August call.
Report from the ALAC Internal Rules of Procedure working group - Cheryl stated that the short order was completed on 5th July mainly thanks to Robert and Veronica. The revised document is up on the wiki based on internationalised rules. Cherly suggested that in order for this to be completed in a timely manner the document should be taken as final and only open to the ALAC to now make the final tweaks to it, she suggested that the ALAC should continue to work on the document and illicit comments which should be fed back into the WG for completion prior to the next telcon. Nick will invite all the ALAC to the google document which is an Above and Below document of Vittorio's text against the reworked text.
Board Liaison Election - Nick will send an email to regional lists that weren't in San Juan, explain what is going on, and ask if they have interest in a telcon to meet the candidates, if they do it will be set it up for next week, if not there is no need for a telcon.
It was agreed that the Election Rules/Proceedure portion of the RoP would be extracted and commented upon via the list by Friday with a vote to be set up to end by next Wednesday. Izumi proposed, Annette seconded, with the rest of the Rules of Proceedure document being open for comments until July 25th. The WG are to incorporate comments and send the final document to the ALAC for July 31st for apporval in the telcon on August 14th. All agreed.
