Urgent ALAC meeting 8 November 2018

An urgent meeting was called today to air some issues with the ALAC regarding selection of representatives for various positions. An in-camera session was held with ALAC members only so that they could discuss the situations involving p

1. the At-Large Selection Committee 2019 and

2. two ATLASIII working groups (Delegates and Programming). Anyone who has contacts for sponsorship in the Montreal area is asked to contact Olivier Crepin Leblond.

The final item of the public section of the meeting was Olivier's explanation of the change of status of the CCWG IG to a CCEG IG, and what that implies for At-Large as well as other parties to the current charter. Having explained this to the meeting, we have a chance to reflect on what we aim to do, although there was strong support expressed in the chat and in interventions for remaining with the Engagement group in collaboration with other constituencies. Ths was seen as far more preferable to having our own IG working group.

During the in-camera meeting the ALAC members discussed personnel issues:

  1. the Leadership course list of candidates. There was no change to the original consensus that all the candidates met with the approval of all ALAC members. It was also condition that was raised was that the LACRALO candidate may not get his visa in time for the meeting in Kobe, in which case the alternate would take over which is normal practice.
  2. The Fellowship Mentor application process will go ahead as proposed. The staff will continue with the call for new applicants for the At-Large Selection Committee, and will also call for Expressions of Interest from ALAC and RALO members to be members of the "At-Large Appointments and Selection Committee" having already selected an At-Large Fellowship Selection Committee
  3. The third issue was an explanation and confirmation of the selected travellers in the two spare At-Large travel slots for the Kobe meeting. No change was made to the previous consensus call. However discussions did focus on how we might get other important members to the KOBE meeting who really need to be there because of their important role in various committees, representing the interests of At-Large. Various options were discussed. Further discussion will take place at the next full ALAC meeting.
