ALAC ExCom 17.09.12 Summary Minutes

1. Roll call and apologies – Staff (2 minutes)

2. Review of Action Items from 28 August 2012 ALAC Meeting and the 7 August 2012 ExCom Meeting - Olivier (15 minutes)

The Action Items were reviewed and updated as necessary.
EL: We specifically asked that Compliance be taken out from under Legal. As this has already happened this is now a moot matter. They followed what we already said; we do not need to make this into a formal Statement.
OCL: I think the question is if the three Statements on that wiki page should still be drafted or if all three are moot.
EL: I don't think that we need to advance any of the other Statements. We should just be vigilant.
OCL: I suggest we mark this as no Statement.
OCL: The Board has not replied yet to our letters, but they only recently received it.
OCL: Evan, please send me the finalized version of the paper and an introduction by the end of the week. We can then send it forward
SB: In Toronto, we will have a public Board meeting, as we will change some Board members. I am trying to have other topics added to that meeting.
