[Chapter-delegates] ISOC-NY discusses at-large membership of ICANN

[Danny Younger]

Veni,

Re:  "The dannys of our day no not want to be part of
the solution".

Your remark is insulting.

Unlike the members of the ALAC that have done nothing
to advance the interests of the at-large community,
this danny has been active in proposing solutions:

(1) The Natural Persons Proposal submitted to the
WHOIS Task Force
(2) Proposal to establish a Civil Society Supporting
Organization submitted to the ICANN President's
Stragegy Committee
(3) Proposal to revise the ICANN Supporting
Organization model submitted to the ICANN Board
Governance Committee
(4) Proposal to hire an ICANN Manager of Public
Participation (now finally filled by Kieren) submitted
to the ICANN Ombudsman
(5) Proposal (last October) to investigate Registerfly
issues submitted to the ICANN CHairman of the Board
(6) Proposal to protect registrant interests by
adopting the Bucharest recoomendation to convene a
technical steering group that would form a
specification allowing for registrants to select a
competitive reddeming registrar during the Redemption
Grace Period (submitted to the GNSO)
(7) Proposal to reassess the proposed .xxx Rapid
Takedown Provisions based on the DMCA submitted
through the Public Comment Forum

I'll stack up my contributions toward new solutions
against the entirety of ALAC-produced proposals and
the contest won't be even close.

Veni, your oft-repeated hackeyed platitudes have no
basis in fact.

You can pretend that the ALAC represents the At-Large
as much as you wish; it doesn't, and that has been
demonstrated by their lack of action in support of the
at-large community.

If ISOC chapters wish to work with their peers, they
should join ICANN's non-commercial constituency. 
Suggesting that they pretend to be the at-large and
join the ALAC system is a disservice to our community
and further serves to dilute the power of Civil
Society within ICANN.
