Re: [atlarge-discuss] anyone care to RALO?
Abel,
While all of us are appreciative of the services that both you and Sotiris
provided on behalf of the At-Large at Montreal, the issue is not the
contribution of individuals to the process but rather the lack of fortitude/leadership of
the elected Panel of icannatlarge.
The subject of RALOs has been under discussion for close to a year. We all
have our opinions on this topic, but what is eminently clear is that:
1. Even if you support the concept of RALOs, the current proposal makes no
provision for the inclusion of global organizations such as icannatlarge --
this square peg does not fit into the five round holes recommended by the ALAC --
as such the proposal is flawed and the Panel should have issued a public
statement to that effect.
2. If you don't support the notion of RALOs, then assuredly a statement
outlining the reasons for the organization's objections to the current plan should
have been tendered.
Silence on the part of the leadership of this group has resulted in the
uncontested adoption of the ALAC recommendations by the ICANN Board. Every member
of this Panel should have known that the topic was under discussion and that a
decision would be reached at the Montreal session. To argue that there was
simply not enough time to have the Panel as a whole agree on a statement is
pure BS. If this Panel can't be relied upon to formally present the views of its
membership in a timely fashion, then it is less than useless.
Will the Panel of this organization act to file a reconsideration request?
It certainly has enough time to get that accomplished... or will it again
proceed to do nothing?
