[alac] Some proposed working groups

[Wendy Seltzer <wendy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I put the notes I took of action items from our teleconference onto 
the ICANNwiki at 
<http://www.icannwiki.org/ALAC_Teleconference_May_5>, to which I see 
someone has already made some additions.

Since we clearly cannot get all of our work done through once-monthly 
teleconferences, especially when the teleconference facilities are so 
awful, I reiterate that we should do more through sub-committee 
working groups (formal or informal).  Here would be my suggestions 
(some already formed):

Budget (John, Jacqueline, Annette)
Website/communications (Jean, Izumi, Sebastian (I think))
Research (Wendy, Bret, Alice, Annette)
Outreach
Meetings (i.e., scheduling and organization for the ICANN meetings)
ALS/RALOs

Topic-oriented: These can be more fluid, coming into existence when 
we want to learn more about a particular topic or to provide advice 
to the Board.
IDN
New gTLD
"existing contracts"
Privacy (Wendy, ...)
"Domain Tasting" and other end-user issues with domain name 
registration and use
Trademark and other restrictions on domain registration
RALO workshop in Marrakech (Jacqueline, Vittorio, Wendy, Annette)
