For instance, there's an open forum for Domain-Name-related issues where in
the last months the question of the introduction of new TLDs (which seems a
subject of interest to the participants to this list) has been debated: the
DNSO General Assembly.
I would be happy if, once these elections will be over, people that have
participated would still stick around, join that (or other) fora, discuss of
the next problem on the list about the DNS, and provide meaningful input to
the process (and to the AtLarge Director, whoever he/she will be).
