Sometimes things just slip by me. And here I was all concerned. But low and behold the ALAC is just "Interim" so it really does not matter who they put on there or who stays.

"At-Large Advisory Committee Announces New Members and At-Large GNSO Liaison

ICANN?s Board of Directors appointed Annette Muehlberg from Germany and John Levine from the U.S.A to ICANN's Interim At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) to fill European and North American region vacancies. Concurrently, the ALAC appointed Bret Fausett as the At-Large liaison to the GNSO Council."

The recent ALAC announcement of the selection of delegates to the 2005 Nominating Committee states: "The ALAC widely solicited volunteers and relied on the user groups designated as ?At-Large Structures? in each region for recommendations."
 
As three Nominating Committee delegates were brought back for yet another term, I have to wonder exactly how widely the ALAC cast their net.  Other than their website (that practically no one visits), where else was the notice posted?  Was it sent to any other mailing lists?  I certainly don't recall the GA being notified.  
 
How many so-called at-large structures even submitted nominations?  If three delegates had to be re-nominated, was this due to a total non-response?  Wouldn't it be nice to hear the truth/details for once?
 
If I had to guess, I would say that the outreach was so pathetic that only a handful of nominations were received and that some regions submitted absolutely no nominations.  Most likely Vittorio and associates simply picked their Civil Society buddies from the non-commercial constituency and totally disregarded all other possible at-large candidates.
 
Why are NGO representatives instead of At-Large representatives the only people selected by the ALAC?  Perhaps we should petition the Board to rename the ALAC as the Civil Society Promotion & Advisory Committee...
