Interesting observation. Milton seems quite strict on multiple hats. Although he did not said AL and NCUC would be mutually exclusive, will they accept AL? Hong On Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 12:04 AM, Jacqueline A. Morris < jam@jacquelinemorris.com> wrote:
I agree except for one little distinction: ALAC to be the ONLY channel for "individual internet users" as defined as in their individual life, with other channels for individals in their other roles So I as an academic could belong to both AtLarge and NCUC in 2 different roles.
I agree that RALOS MUST create a mechanism to allow individuals to participate without forcing them to join an ALS - the concern is with capture, but policy voice is what is important, and we are intelligent ppl so we can work out a mechanism, I am sure.

I still prefer Option 2, allowing multiple channels, while, ALAC can still remain as a major channel for indivdual Internet users to ICANN process.
As for the definition or distinction, first of all we should stick with the word "individual Internet users", not just "users" or "end-users". That is inline with what Jacquline wrote. To me, "individual Internet user" mean those users who are using the Internet for himself or herself, but not for the organization or group he or she is enaged. Still not clear, I know.... but that the sort of dillemma we all are facing.
I also like to see some additional mechanism to allow individuals participate in AtLarge activities in substantial manner without belonging to any ALS, let alone RALO. That does not mean that person will get voting right for ArLarge related elections, but voices for policy issues.
