[atlarge-discuss] Rejecting the ALAC

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

The recent postings by JKhan have been quite helpful in allowing me to think 
in analogous terms.

Our current At-Large organizing effort may be equated to a partisan 
Resistance movement that continues the fight well after the initial major 
battles have been lost. We have our immediate foes, and we have collaborators 
within our midst -- those that intend to work on the implementation details 
of a Committee that will formalize the loss of our "representational" rights.

Participation has never been an issue.  All of us have been at liberty to 
participate by joining constituencies if so inclined, by contributing to the 
work of the DNSO General Assembly, by posting to the Public Forums, by 
speaking up at ICANN sessions, and by sending letters to the Board, staff, 
and relevant governmental entities.  

The issue is "representation".

It is the only means of ensuring that our voice is actually "heard".   The 
proposed ALAC forever denies us the prospect of representation and should be 
categorically rejected by each and every At-Large representative.  It is time 
to take a defiant stand.  

As for the fifth columnists among us,  you will long be remembered by your 
actions.
