Dear All,
As promised at the meeting on Sept 9, here's my first try in incorporating the key points of the ICANN ALAC Review WG's report in the bylaws (XI 4a).
4. At-Large Advisory Committee
a. The At-Large Advisory Committee (“ALAC”) shall provide ICANN with advice on policy and input into operations. It is an important part of ICANN's accountability mechanism and a catalyst for ICANN's outreach work.
I dropped "insofar as they relate to the interests of individual Internet users" of the present text, because I believe that *all* policies and operational decisions relate to the interests of individual users -- or at least that should be our view.
ALAC's role should be defined in a more detailed manner in XI 4j ("The ALAC is also responsible etc...")
Best
Yrjö
