Are you speaking about the CPSR meeting or ICANN's meetings ?

If I not missed some posts, Hans Klein kindly gave to an European At
Large representative a slot of time to describe our in-progress
organization and to discuss with others the global issues of At Large
Membership. Thomas and Hanno seems the natural receivers of this
invitation, but others can play this role

After this meeting, there will be the scheduled ICANN session. There
our 'representative' is Andy, which has his views on At Large and will
have a lot of other tasks to do (he asked for priorities and started
to list: networking with other directors, transparency, legal support
of policies ...). We can help him with an open set of possibilities,
but we are only at starting point.

Don't misunderstand, please. I appreciate this debate (someone, me
too, feared a blackout after the election!). Most of your points are
good ones.

This role is to be acquired and recognized ...

Yes, but we are not going to the war ... IMHO the ALM has three main
open issues, This is the first: Global vs. Regional vs. Local, others
being Self organization vs. Institutional role, and Funding.
I hope to be able to explain better my views in other posts
