[NA-Discuss] Voting None of the Above Re: …

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Doesn't this mean we really need to do outreach to the ALS that form the RALO to make sure that at least those organizations that have heard of ICANN and joined a RALO, are frequently invited into the discussion?  And I know it isn't easy.

We seem to have 22 ALSes in NARALO. How many participate in meeting? in votes?
