Those who are given a toy steering wheel are not driving the automobile 
even if they do participate.

The ALAC is a toy.

And the ALAC is not merely a toy, it is also a badge of subordination and 
inferiority.  While selected industrial actors get access to the real 
steering wheel of ICANN, the ALAC seems happy to accept a powerless third 
class status.

No, I will not bother to cooperate with the ALAC.  Indeed it is my feeling 
that the ALAC should be recognized for what it was intended to be: a 
childrens' playpen to keep "individuals" quiet.

I know that some are trying your best to make good of a bad situation. 
And for that they deserve credit for having hope.

I, however, am not going to eat ICANN's ALAC garbage and pretend that it 
is tasty and nutritious.
