[ALAC] ALAC Representative on the .NGO Community Advisory Council

[Evan Leibovitch]

Hi Alan,

I think this would be a great idea with one proviso. I would suggest that
as a guideline to choosing such a rep, we do not (or at least strongly
discourage) appointment of reps from ALSs that are ISOC chapters. There
appears a clear conflict of interest here since PIR is *the* primary source
of revenue to ISOC (which in turn provides funding to Chapters).
