RE: [alac] FYI: Council adopts Transfers and WHOIS

[Denise Michel <denisemichel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you have time, would you please send the ALAC an explanation of which
recommendations are binding and which are not, what action the Council is
asking the Board to take, what process you think the ALAC should use to
comment on the outstanding Issue Reports, what action (if any) you would
recommend that the ALAC take at the Board level, and what you would suggest
the parameters need to be for the new policy development process.

THanks.

Denise
