    Hello all,<br />
    <br />
    I am baffled why an ALS rep would unsubscribe from the At-Large List
    and the ALAC Announce list. Some might even be unsubscribing from
    their own RALO list.<br />
    Is an ALS with no channel to receive news from At-Large fulfilling
    its functions as an ALS?<br />
    Kindest regards,<br />
    <br />
    Olivier<br />

            <div>Seun,
              there are always too many emails, none channeled to
              specific interests or needs. This decades-old "system" of
              collaboration and information flow is one of the great
              failures of ICANN to engage with the community. Why would
