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

[Danny Younger]

Vittorio,

Let me understand this correctly,

you want:

(1)  Individuals to be forced to join some civil
society organization somewhere so that they can
propose solutions to their peers.
(2)  That local organization then needs to be formally
accredited by ICANN in order to send comments to yet
another regional organization that has to be formed
and certified by ICANN.
(3)  This regional organization will then discuss
local organization contributions and filter/revise,
and ratify or reject the local contribution before
acting to pass on the comments to another Committee
(4)  The ALAC Committee will then discuss the regional
contribution and will act to
amend/revise/filter/enhance the text in order to
submit it to an ICANN Board that has no seated voting
at-large representatives

Here's a counter-proposal:  Write a letter directly to
the Board.  It takes less time.  It's more efficient,
and comments won't be filtered through the
interference of other parties in the process.  It's
what organizations such as CDT, EPIC, the American Red
Cross, Yahoo!, Overstock, etc.  do all the time.

The At-Large community has no need for all this stupid
bureaucracy.
