[NA-Discuss] [At-Large] ALAC Draft Accountability Framework andConflicts of Interest Policy

[Danny Younger]

Re:  Then why are you here? If we're as useless as you
say, then you're wasting your time talking to us.

Evan,

We are in the middle of the ALAC Review process.  The
very first determination that the evaluator will need
to make is whether the ALAC has a continuing purpose. 
I am using this list to put forward the argument that
the ALAC no longer has a continuing purpose.

You may not like this perspective, but I have a right
to express this viewpoint.

I have always indicated my preference for a Supporting
Organization model that elects a set of ICANN Board
directors.  The no-representation ALAC model is not
appropriate for the at-large community.

You may recall that the At-Large Study Committee
recommended the formation of an At-Large Supporting
Organization (ALSO).  I have always supported that
recommendation, and now that a Review offers up the
opportunity of embarking upon a new course, I am not
prepared to recommend that we keep on travelling down
the Advisory Committee road when there are better
alternatives (a Supporting Organization) that may be
pursued.

regards,
Danny
