RE: [ga] ICANN Board unanimously approves .biz/.info/.org registry agreements by 13-0

Jeff,

you're perhaps right in identifying the ALAC constitutional status it
has within the ICANN structures and its binding to the bottom-up
consensus policy. The fact it has no individual voting membership for
me, however, doesn't necessarily implies essentially malicious impact or
behavior of their members. We do have constituencies with voting
membership doing nothing remarkable around the issues. Yes, we could be
discussing and clarifying this further, as I'm still quite a short time
here on the forum.
But what I see is an actual effort of people out there intending to
address issues explicitly on official forums and thus belonging to a
very small group of those really interested in what we're all here
calling for. And those people and their effort plainly deserve
appreciation.

Dominik

Dominik and all,

  Taking your remarks and comments in reverse order here...

  The ALAC is essentially a malignant and misrepresentative entity of
ICANN in that it has no individual voting membership.
Any position it may take whether or not I am in agreement with it or any
other stakeholder/registrant is or not, is irrelevant to bottom up
consensus policy and/or contract determination in respect to
stakeholders/registrants.
