[At-Large] Comments on GNSO improvements

[Brendler, Beau]

Roberto, you wrote:

"...about extending the representation to all users I would personally
take, in the Board, a more flexible approach, and therefore would
consider this particular point as negotiable."

Please know that neither I nor the organization I represent considers
this particular point to be flexible or negotiable. I do not presume to
speak for other consumer organizations but my guess is that most would
not consider it negotiable either. To the degree you are supposed to
represent the interests of ALAC, in my opinion, you do not represent it
here.

I am 100% with you. And I also reply to Wendy:

I did not mean to imply that ALAC should not ask for the maximum, I only
tried to explain my position, which is that, while the inclusion of
individual registrants is a must, and therefore not negotiable, about
extending the representation to all users I would personally take, in
the Board, a more flexible approach, and therefore would consider this
particular point as negotiable.

Cheers,
Roberto
