[alac] Process for At Large Structure applications (2)

[Vittorio Bertola <vb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the revised version of the ALS accreditation process, 
incorporating the comments received until today. Are there any more 
comments or proposals?

I would like to get a final agreement on this by Friday or Monday at 
latest, so that we can try to get the pending applications examined and 
voted by Carthage, if possible.


1. [Applicant] Sends application to als@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. [Staff] Notifies reception to ALAC (and RALO once it exists)
           Verifies whether application is formally complete:
               if not, asks the applicant to correct it => (1)
               if yes, confirms to the applicant that it is
               accepted, publicly announces reception of the application
               and publishes it on the website for public comment

3. (<= 2 weeks)
   [Reviewers(*)]: Review application, contacting applicant to ask for 
more information if necessary, trying to get third party confirmations 
if doubts arise, etc.; may send updates or ask directions to the 
Committee if felt necessary
   [Committee] May send to the reviewers suggestions or questions to be 
asked to the applicant

(*) The review group will be formed by one person from ICANN staff plus 
the ALAC members from the same Region of the applicant, except those 
ones who are affiliated with the applicant or have other conflicts of 
interest.

4. [Reviewers] Send review, summary of public comments and 
recommendation to ALAC on the public list (except for any parts of the 
review that, according to the reviewers, may require confidentiality)

5. [ALAC Chair] Unless objections arise, calls a vote on the application

6. (<= 5 working days)
   [Committee members] Cast a vote by private e-mail to Chair + staff

7. [ALAC Chair] As soon as the result of the vote is final, calls the 
result on the public list
   [Staff] Notifies applicant, notifies RALO, updates databases and 
mailing lists, etc.
