[ALAC] Comments on ALAC review: Relationship with other ICANN entities

[Jacqueline A. Morris]

I agree except for one little distinction:
ALAC to be the ONLY channel for "individual internet users" as defined 
as in their individual life, with other channels for individals in their 
other roles
So I as an academic could belong to both AtLarge and NCUC in 2 different 
roles.

I agree that RALOS MUST create a mechanism to allow individuals to 
participate without forcing them to join an ALS - the concern is with 
capture, but policy voice is what is important, and we are intelligent 
ppl so we can work out a mechanism, I am sure.
