In the process of making revisions to this page you have eliminated Patrick's comments. His remarks are reproduced here:

I would like this meeting to address several points:

Meeting format: there is no place to actually talk about substance. The ALAC spends a lot of time on process and nearly none on policy.

Meeting schedules: there is no way to find a time slot convenient for everyone for teleconferences. Hence, it would be fair to "spread the nuisance" by rotating the meetings hours, e.g. rotating between early afternoon for Asia-Pacific on month n, then early afternoon for Europe/Africa on month n+1 and then early afternoon for America on month n+2.

Community input:
How do we get a comprehensive list of requests for comments
How do we prioritize them. Especially, which could be dealt with directly by the ALAC, by a WG of the ALAC, what needs to be sent to the At-Large community ?
Who should take action to ask for community input ? Given that we always work with tight deadlines, we cannot just wait for the next teleconference to launch an internal At-Large process.
