[ALAC] ALS decertification

[Alan Greenberg]

I would strongly disagree with such a change. 
Whether ISOC Pakistan is using the term Internet 
Society properly or not is not really our 
concern. The Internet Society of China, one of 
our esteemed co-host of the Beijing meeting is 
not affiliated with ISOC, and that is not an issue with ICANN.

Their use of the term COULD be used to make the 
case that they are attempting some sort of fraud, 
but with no more web site or contact, that would 
be difficult to prove, I suspect.
