[lac-discuss-en] [ALAC-Announce] REMINDER: COMMENTS REQUESTED: Proposed At-Large Vision Statement - Deadline for Comments 17 May

[JJS]

*This may be a bit late, but reading once again the draft, I am struck by
two potential problems: *
*- the ALAC and the At-Large structures are bundled together. In process
terms, anything from the At-Large structures destined to the Board are
voted upon by the ALAC. This is not reflected in the current wording.*
*- The term "end-user" may give rise to various (legal) interpretations, as
a corporation, or an NGO, can also claim that definition.*
*
*
*May I suggest a slight rewording:*
*The ALAC, building upon the experience and views of the At-Large
community, catalyzes and facilitates inclusive, meaningful  participation
of general Internet users world-wide, aggregates their input and brings
their voice to bear in all ICANN matters.*

*Regards,*
*Jean-Jacques.*
