Revised.

#.  The ICANN Reform process conducted in 2002 contemplated the creation 
 of an important new staff position titled "Manager of Public 
Participation." The role of the Manager of Public Participation was to 
"manag[e] the public comment and participation process for ICANN on all 
 substantive matters" and to "solicit, receive and report to the Board 
on  all public input on matters put out for public comment." The 
importance of this position was highlighted by the fact that it was 
written into the ICANN Bylaws at Article III, Section 3. While the 
position has been covered on an interim basis by ICANN's public 
relations staff person, the position has not yet been filled on a 
permanent basis. Public participation will continue to play an 
important, vital role within the ICANN process, and the ALAC encourages 
the President and the Board to fill the open position with a full time 
employee "with support staff and other resources necessary to carry out 
[his or her] responsibilities effectively" as soon as a suitable, 
qualified candidate can be located.
