[NA-Discuss] FW: Regional Advice for Papergate

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

There is no impediment to requesting further information; you can do it directly, the ALAC can, or either may request the staff to do it (but you'd need to tell us what you want us to ask of course).

As Darlene said, incorporating but not having any viable organization
is not particularly good either. I happen to be associated with a
functioning, productive not-for-profit (far from the ICANN world) and
I would hope that our not having incorporated (initial and ongoing
cost just to high to justify) would not be held against us.

Proof/demonstration of ongoing activities and membership is the key.

I cannot remember whether there is a step in the process that allows
us to ask for more information (and that stops the clock from ticking).
