It would be helpful if you could be more specific. The group that
developed the new ALS responsibilities were VERY conscious about not
making unreasonable or useless demands. Note that the first 4
bullets in Appendix A are the things that will disappear.<br><br>
What is left:<br><br>
1. Allow us to send occasional messages to the ALS members (which you
said you do not object to)<br>
2. Report in every 2 years<br>
3. Mention ICANN/At-large on your website (or other Internet presence) -
which was always a requirement<br>
4. Representative should respond if contacted, and involve their ALS
members *IF* such a contribution seems appropriate (ALS decision)<br>
5. Provide a link or email address to allow prospective ALS members to
contact the ALS.<br><br>
What needless onerous service were you referring to?<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">THAT's what's onerous, and
outrageously so. It seems like the authors have totally lost touch with
the concept of who is in service to who.<br><br>
