[NA-Discuss] Next steps for NA RALO

[Dharma Dailey]

The list of priorities need to be checked against  what we as  
individuals and as individual organizations are interested  in  
doing.    It would be helpful to know what each of us is willing to  
commit to over the next year or so.

For myself,  I'm really interested putting energy into public forums,  
public education, public participation.  Not interested at all in  
trying to reform ICANN which looks to be an infinite time sink.
