I personally believe in the rights of the neglected constituencies of the grassroots Netizens and the NCDNHC (Non - Commercial Domain Name Holders' Constituency). I am espousing these interests as a member of the General Assembly of the Domain Name Supporting Organization (DNSO) of the ICANN and have been doing so at all forums possible.

I see considerable room for improvement in the organization of the At Large movement as well including the outreach and awareness programmes.

However, I observed a definite bias against my region, however subtle. Asia did not seem important, both for members as well as for outreach.
