Re: AW: [council] Fwd: Update on "Expressions of Interest" Group
Perhaps I have missed something, but from the ALAC-person-who-is-not-representing-ALAC in the group, this is a completely non-ICANN endeavour - mailing list is hosted by one of the members and no ICANN money for teleconferences. I haven't seen a request for staff resources, but perhaps I missed it.

On the other hand the approach of this group formation looks a bit strange to me. From the membership structure they looks lik a GNSO WG (I wonder whether it has been discussed within the constituencies/SGs). They also request ICANN staff ressources which are needed for other activities already in the pipe. Has this already been accepted by ICANN? Ressources are rare. Is this the way to organize the WG-model based work in future? I don't think so.I thought there is a commitment of the GNSO as well as the board on how to deal with policy development issues. If we start it this way we may be confronted with more particular interest groups in future trying to bypass the GNSO.Anyway, before we decide to get engaged we should be clear whether and to what extent the EoI is of interest for our work.Comments welcome.
