[At-Large] Auerbach: "It is my view that ICANN ought to scrap the ALAC in its entirety"

[JFC Morfin]

IMHO the real problem of ALAC is its legitimacy at being knowledgeable
about the Internet, its users, and their usages. Law, ICANN issues,
domain names, etc. are not its specific cup of tea : may be for the
closed NCUC ? ALAC must put everything in the users' perspective.
Otherwise it is of no interest to anyone.

>From experience with IDNO, icannatlarge.org and WG Review, the IETF
system, TLDA and many associations, ALAC members should be elected on
a regional  basis, by the contributing Members of the atlarge mailing
list (to be called IUSO: Internet Users Support Organization).

Question however, is ICANN today interesting enough nowadays for
people to contribute as Elizabeth recalls? IMHO only if ALAC has three
reps on the BoD. No because of any democratic consideration, but out
of necessity to have users involved at that level.
