<div dir="ltr">With all due respect Evan, I am not sure that the comments of a few people on the list during a time period when many are on vacation demonstrates the views of the the At-Large or the ALAC at all. There is likely a formal process to introduce
the issue (as opposed to just on a mailing list). And I would like to use the process to raise the issue.<span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">If, as you contend, there is little interest, then so be it. Then it never gets addressed. But you never know until you start the process.<span></span><span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">And again with all due respect, one should never give up on making the organization better even if you are frustrated by our lack of success in the past. Giving up just doesn’t seem like the right option.<span></span></div>

You've asked. Nobody's shown interest. OTOH, people have been having a much better time with the tangents this topic has grown. However ... While I can't speak for any other readers here, my response to your repeated demand for attention is one of enthusiastic
indifference.<br>

You don't appear to have convinced anyone that ALAC ought to fight your battles. Accountability issues have plagued ICANN for decades, yet you only come here when they impact one of your clients.<br>

IMO, if ALAC is to address accountability, it needs to be systemic and also address ICANN's massive conflict-of-interest problem. I had a lot more to say about why this request bears ignoring, but I deleted it. Just not worth the effort.
