[At-Large] Moore v. ICANN

[Izumi AIZU]

To put some other thoughts, Danny, do you mean/want ALAC as 15-member
global committee should correspond to each consumer/user complaints?

Or, with the recent setup of RALO, should NARALO, in case of North America,
respond to? Or, say, is it better any of ALS first deal with them?
[or none of above?]  We have Consumer organization in US as one ALS.
NARALO "can" become such channel. But I doubt tthe global ALAC
to become the first channel.

And, I also have thought that each case should be handled not by ALAC, but
rather by either ICANN or registrar-registry in charge. At least former
interim
ALAC did not have that kind of capacity, and there did not seem to exist
such expectation.

Maybe I am completly wrong, but I cannot help express these.
