Dear Patrick, your reply make it sound as if individual membership and 
voting rights for individuals would be just a marginal issue. It is not!

So far, at Large has been the only space in ICANN were individuals could 
principally get a say. Moreover, individual membership has been one of 
the constitutive principles justifying an additional group of 
stakeholders in ICANN. All the ISOC chapters have the choice to join 
other constituencies in ICANN. Individuals don't have that choice.

It continues to amaze me that those who had a chance to attend the 
meeting in Lisbon made the decision to exclude individual voting rights 
at least for the time being. You must have known that this decision is 
not only controversial but neither reflects the history of At Large 
membership in ICANN nor the wish of other members of EURALO who couldn't 
attend the meeting.
best, jeanette

After all the discussions about roles and rights of individuals at ALS / EURALO, I followed so far, I am still not sure whether individuals "attached to the cause of EURALO" can sign the MoU? Thanks for clarifications,
