I agree with this view - that questions may come from anywhere.

Subject: [At-Large] Wrong Context for Deciding How to Address EBW's
Questions

Dear Tijani:
I have read your response to JJS's query and would wish to provide a
different context for applying whether the questions from EBW should command
response.

I seriously doubt if the case that "Eric is not an at-large member' is good
and sufficient to ignore his questions.  In fact that criteria is misplaced
and fundamentally at odds with the conceptual underpinnings of the
At-Large's in the ICANN community and the ALAC's role in ICANN operations
and governance.

The At-Large is recognized as the home of the ordinary internet user in the
ICANN ecosystem.  While we have embraced a certain organisational framework
as a management tool, active participation of any internet user in ICANN
policy development is the bottomline objective

So long as Eric Brunner Williams is an internet enduser and while he remains
within the framework of acceptable conduct established by the At-Large thru
ALAC, there can be no other membership criteria for participation.

You may use other [valid] criteria to reject broadcasting his questions.
 And candidates have an absolute right to ignore him and not answer, again
for various and sundry reasons.  But a status of membership or membership
criteria may not be employed as disqualifiers.

And I say this as one who has been unfairly maligned by the said Eric
Brunner Williams.

Best,
-Carlton
