Are they trying to become writers for Comedy Central?  The document 
(does it have enough content to warrant the name "document"?) starts 
with a small bang - that the ALAC is so emasculated that it can't draw 
any interest - and ends with a noise that would have to be pumped-up 
with hyperbole-genes just to be a vacuous wimper.

The answer is to scrap the ALAC 100%, every nut, every bolt, and every 
ICANN staffer, consultant, and "attorney" (licensed or not) that has 
ever touched it.

And what to replace the ALAC?  Why simply that which we were promised in 
the first place - elections for a majority of seats on the ICANN board 
of Directors.

(Given that all of the "stakeholders" are also individual internet 
users, they too could get a vote in this system, thus there is a good 
argument to give the public the vote for 100% of the ICANN board seats.)
