Bill Drake: I am one of the 150+ members of the NCUC and I am not accountable for how M. Muller choses to communicate with other people. I want to stick to what is the basic issue here. There is apparently a long standing history of interaction between ALAC and NCUC, which was not always going too well. NCUC as broader charter has been supported by broader number of civil society organizations. The Board rejected that and so we are asking them to please reconsider that in collaboration with us. We suggested also that no constituency is created until this issue is resolved (the official letter from August is resent to the list). If constituencies are to be created under the existing arrangements, that will will be locked in a charted that the Bord has given us which we all in the civil society reject, and wil will not be able to get out of it. We are looking for the creation of a new constituency will be hold until we work this out collaboratively with the SIC. There was no collective ALAC position taken by the ALAC supporting the SIC Charter. I suggest we begin to move into more collaborative mode between the NCUC and ALAC.
On the point of Liaison issues, because of all the misunderstanding and because i am familiar with the NCUC and ALAC, I've offered a month ago to serve as Liaison between the two.
(For more details please refer to the call recording;From NARALO minutes: ALAC response to recent activities of the NCUC:
“It was decided by full consensus, that NARALO would formally make a request to the A*LAC to oppose the one-year delay of approval of the NCSG charter that is being proposed by NCUC in its August 18 letter to the ICANN CEO and Board. It was strongly felt that the restructuring should not be substantially delayed, simply to buy time to re-make arguments that have already been made”.)

W. Ludwig: The proposal to nominate Bill Drake as a Liaison between NCUC and ALAC is maybe a good idea and I support it. Follow up on this topic is requested.
