[APAC-Discuss] [ALAC-Internal] New ALS Application received

[Alan Greenberg]

Holly said "This application will carry with it a lot of politics!"

I may be naive, but I certainly hope not.

In one of my past lives, I ran workshops training people from 
developing countries on how to build, run manage and use the Internet 
in their countries (including quite a few who hold or have held 
prominent roles in At-Large and ICANN). We often had students (and 
occasionally staff) from countries that had active, sometimes armed, 
disputes with each other. In the best possible spirit of the 
Internet, they worked and lived cooperatively with each other, and at 
times took great pains to explicitly point out that their countries 
may be fighting, but they were not. I'm sure that at some level, 
there might have been suppressed tensions, but they did not (to my 
knowledge) ever get to the level where they affected what we were 
trying to accomplish.

I would like to think that At-Large can do as well.
