Subject: URGENT: Planning for Empowered Community 

I am writing to you as the people most involved in the CCWG-ACCT and probably those most familiar with what the ALAC must do with respect to the Empowered Community and the Transition.

We do not have a lot of time and we have pretty heavy commitments in other areas, so my hope is that we can put in place what we need and do it from a minimalist point of view. We can always go back later and augment this.

I think that the following will cover us.


1. Rules of Procedure:

- All actions taken on behalf of the EC requires an affirmative vote of at least 2/3 of the currently seated ALAC Members.

- The ALAC is represented on the EC Administration by:
   - the ALAC Chair or his/her delegate as agreed to by the ALAC;
   - a person to be named annually by the ALAC.
  My preference is for the former. The representative has no power other than to follow the instructions of the ALAC, we already have a detailed process for removal of the Chair if he/she no longer has the support of the ALAC, and there is a defined Chair succession sequence so the position is always filled. 

- ALAC Meetings normally require one week notice. Perhaps (I haven't really thought this through) we need to shorten this in the case of meetings to discuss EC actions.

2. Vote of the ALAC to reaffirm the appointment of the current Seat 15 incumbent once the new Bylaws go into effect.


3. Vote to name the EC Administrative representative if not implicitly done by the RoP.

What have I missed that is necessary for the transition to take effect?
