<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic"">Alberto has asked us to list all events we have talked last two years. If we get all places around in my region I + my colleagues from my ALS ( NEXTi – IT Executive women) - have talked about
ICANN and encourage people to participate, I could say we have talked with more than 10,000 persons from ISPs, NGOs, students ( high school and universities), professional association, lawyers events, techy events…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic"">Even so only less than 20 persons effectively are participating in ICANN from all those contacted.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic"">Some others had applied for NOMCOM but not selected, participated in one or other ICANN groups, attended one or two LACRALO meeting but normally the feedback from those are “too complex to follow
/ we need more time to learn, etc….<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic"">But when you talk about some results from ALSs, having them formally involved, we have good results , even if some colleagues ( from my ALs for instance) had gone to other groups in ICANN.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic"">Even in LACRALO we have good examples from ALSs engagement : Aida, is one example of ALS that took some time to learn but now is working quite hard and contributing a lot with the group. Harold
is another example… certainly other Ralos can have good examples.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic"">Individual participation is valid but need to be active part of any RALO. Other parallel structure or total independency not sounds like a good idea.

<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">Most ALS'es (at least in Europe) are previously existing, established organizations, some older that ICANN, that have a life of their own in their national context. The fact that they have applied for an ALS
status means that their own, national level goals and interests coincide at least to some extent with those of ICANN and that they thus probably defend the interests of ICANN in their national level multistakeholder setting. This important role is something
that the review seems to be oblivious of. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">If "representing" 3,5 billion people in the classic sense of representative democracy would be possible, we would have had a world government long ago... But each ALS can try to figure out how end users in its
particular environment would be best served and bring forth their points of view, as you say. To get a deeper understanding of the grassroots needs and views of their countries and regions, they might liaise with academia - another reason for enhanced cooperation
with the NCUC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
Is the Business Constituency ever asked if it represents or speaks for every business -- domain owner or not -- in the world? Is NPOC asked if it represents every NGO? Do the people who attend from law enforcement speak for all police and military?<br>
<br>
Contracted parties -- ie, the domain industry -- generally do have reasonably full representation, in part because there are relatively few players and in part because they are so fully invested in -- and dependent on -- ICANN's pseudo-regulation more than
other communities or constituencies.<br>
<br>
But it seems that At-Large alone is singled out for this kind of analysis, because -- unlike the others -- we wouldn't be able to be involved without the charitable resources -- travel and staff support -- that ICANN bequeaths upon us. Such support clearly
bothers other communities who believe that we are skimming off revenues THEY bring to ICANN just so we can trash them.<br>
<br>
In my experience, the "who the hell are YOU speaking for?" comment has been used whenever we have something to say that poses a legitimate end-user-driven challenge to ICANN's standard operation. Hearing that in a debate would embolden me because it indicates
that our logic and evidence was superior and the only rebuttal was to challenge our legitimacy.<br>
<br>
At the end of the day, we do the job that is asked of us to the extent we are able -- that is, to bring the end-user point of view into ICANN to the best of our individual capabilities. That is all that Bylaw 12.2(d) asks of us and I believe we have generally
done that as well as possible given the constraints in place. We try to bring forth such a PoV informed by a geographical and linguistic diversity unmatched elsewhere in ICANN except for the GAC. But even here we are deeply flawed, considering how the regions
are sliced and a structure that is so complex so as to churn more volunteer time on process than on policy input.<br>
<br>
Still, there is decent output. I see our policy diversions from NCSG as a (positive) reflection that grassroots population don't always share the same priorities and perspectives of the civil society that is supposedly protecting it. This divergence exists
on the street, so seeing it in play within ICANN tells me that At-Large is indeed doing a reasonable -- and surprisingly accurate -- job at conveying the end-user perspective.<br>
<br>
Whether or not we get listened to is a different story.<br>
