Re: [atlarge-discuss] ALOC Draft - - "political parties"

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Esther and all stakeholders or other interested parties,

  Yes Esther I am sure that there are those, especially Joop,
that would be interested in your idea of political parties
within the structure of an AT-Large.  However I am not
sure that such and idea is shared by the Majority of the
ICANNATLARGE.COM members.  Perhaps a poll
asking this as a straight up question would be helpful
in making that determination.
