Wendy Seltzer has actually said things about new gTLD rollout (no top-down 
taxonomy please) that I'm sure the majority of our members can agree with.

Yes, we need to do our own thing, just to show ICANN that democracy is 
possible, OTOH we do not need to be hostile in order to make our point.

Why don't we simply provide a poll that follows up on ALAC's pronouncements 
and let our members either endorse or dismiss them on a scale of ten?
Or we can Poll our members on ICANN issues  and then make our own 
pronouncements to ICANN with the .

Vittorio is directly responsible for handing over our members' list to 
Judyth Mermelstein; Thomas Roessler controls this mailing list and refuses 
to let us know who are on it.

Thomas, for the nth time, can you please give us the list of subscriber

 an ALAC  can be used to mouth platitudes about Internet User or DNS -user
