Re: [ga] request for details about ALAC members

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kristy, all former DNSO GA members and all stakeholders/users,

  Marilyn Cade as you recall along with Dan Holloran and Vitorrio,
well know as they have been prompted via Email, that stakeholders/users
are NOT represented by the ALAC and these individuals
in particular have made it clear that stakeholder/user active
and direct participation in policy issues, technical and otherwise
are not wanted or desired by a tiny few of the SIG's that you
rightly refer to Kristy.

  As a spokesman of some 100k+ domain name holders, network
providers, and ecommerce business people we as individuals
were not allowed to join the ALAC.  I personally find this
inconsistent with good reasoning or reasonable transparency.
