Olivier Crepin-Leblond:geograpghic -> geographic
Holly Raiche:I do like the introduction as is as well as Heidi's addition
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:yes Heidi that text is the perfect sentance. to use
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:it reflects the outcomes of the review I think verbatim to the bylaws
Heidi Ullrich:@CLO - re sentence - it was developed by you - and the Improvements group ;)
Heidi Ullrich:Re AGAM, does that consist of all ALAC meetings at the AGM or only the Sunday or Thursday sessions?
Holly Raiche:In this version, it is at the end- which I am happy with
Dev Anand Teelucksingh:agree with Cheryl on putting the text before "our" definitions, possibly in the introduction
Holly Raiche:The definition of consensus is taken from our rules. If it differs from GNSO, then it should be changed in both placed
Alan Greenberg:An opinion or position reached by the group as a whole. It is generally reached by no less than 80% of the then sitting ALAC Members (see 12.1.3)
Sandra Hoferichter:Should we delete this term if it is so difficult to agree on?
Sandra Hoferichter:to define rough consensus would be easier
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:harder -- because the ALAC operated by consensus -- so it needs to be defined
Sandra Hoferichter:then we can only refer to the rule when a vote passed succesful
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:the Chair can ask for "consensus calls"
Alan Greenberg: a : general agreement : unanimity b : the judgment arrived at by most of those concerned
Yaovi Atohoun:1.72.3.1
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:indeed Alan consensus for us should indicate that a majority or vast majority if not all those sitting as ALAC agreeing to measured by general assessment, poll or vote....
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:yes Ao
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:should read yesvAlan. outlining wgat this table. does (I.e. define Capitalized terms) for the purposes of the ALAC rules
Sandra Hoferichter:thank you Holly, I understand the idea behind better now
Sandra Hoferichter:but then we have to refer to something which is mesurable
Sandra Hoferichter:like consensus is 80%
Heidi Ullrich:Alan, when should the next call be scheduled?
Heidi Ullrich:Yaovi, did you have a question?
Yaovi Atohoun:wanted to make a comment
