Hello all,

We don't get around it. We can't.We have no effect on the GNSO.

But under the authority mandated in the ICANN bylaws, ALAC has the ability
-- arguably an obligation -- to communicate to the Boards directly when it
encounters ICANN activity that goes against the public good.

And in perfect bottom-up fashion, this is how it's supposed to work.
Discussions happening in the regions that percolate up to become global
assertions of the public interest. Especially in a case in which Avri and
Eric find common ground. :-)

I would fully support ALAC's escalation if it can be suitably informed of
the issues by those here who are knowledgeable on it.

- Evan
