[EURO-Discuss] Why no room for individuals in the RALO?

Please help me to understand why you are creating a RALO that 
excludes individuals who haven't found a congenial ALS.  It looks to 
me as though this structure just further disenfranchises the 
individuals from ICANN processes.  Why should the individual Internet 
user support this structure?

When I asked earlier, I had thought the European group was including 
individual participants.

Why the rush?
