[governance] Innovation - ALEC Review?

[Thomas Lowenhaupt]

Bret's post again raises the question of the ALAC Review Process, first 
raised by Wolfgang in his most excellent post on November 24.

What is the status of the proposed ALAC review? Will we be getting a review 
from a qualified and unbiased entity? This information would be quite 
helpful as this important conversation continues.

Wolfgang,

Thanks for the excellent post.

You put some hope in the proposed ALAC Review Process. Are you aware of its
status and the reasons behind the delayed selection process? Will we be
getting a review from a qualified and unbiased entity? I'd appreciate it if
you (or anyone else here) would shed some light on this.
