[NA-Discuss] Draft: GNSO Reform proposal

[Thompson, Darlene]

For sure.  Also, there is specific wording in the document that was worked on ad infinitem in San Juan that bars entry for any ALS that is controled by a for-profit group/company.

That doesn't agree with my understanding of At Large.  I believe that At
Large is everyone who isn't represented by other consituencies.  This has
often been interpreted as meaning individual domain registrants, but I
think that's wrong too.  The real (and woefully underrepresented) At Large
is all the people in the world who have never registered a domain and
never will, but who use domains every day as the use the Internet.
