Well, ISOC Italy submitted its own comments to the JPA review 
consultation several days ago:

http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/jpacomments2007/jpacomment_028.pdf

They were developed by the President of the association after a 
discussion among all the members. The document clearly states that we 
support ICANN's assessment that the conditions have been met and the JPA 
should now be terminated. So we could not sign on to any document 
stating anything different, and we would see any other position taken by 
EURALO or by the ALAC, without recognizing the lack of consensus in the 
community, as highly inappropriate.

On the other hand, thank you for raising the flag on this list. I've not 
seen the ALAC request comments by the ALSes on this matter, and this is 
really unacceptable.

Regards,
