[At-Large] [NA-Discuss] Reason for NO vote for TelecommunitiesCanada's ALS application

[Roberto Gaetano]

Because, as noted half a million times already, the NCUC is a constituency
of the GNSO, while the ALAC is an Advisory Committee of the Board, and they
have two distinct roles. Therefore, it would be up to the organization
itself to decide whether they want to have a (voting) position, limited to
GNSO matters, or a (advisory, non voting) position, related to the whole
spectrum of ICANN activities. Of course, nothing prevents both things to
happen at the same time.

Incidentally, may I note that, to the best of my knowledge, nobody ever went
to the NCUC list to suggest that current members of that constituency move
*instead* to ALAC, even if most of them would indeed qualify.

Feel free to forward to NA discuss.

Cheers,
Roberto
