Re: [ALAC] Fwd: ALAC Response to recent letters regarding At-Large Review
As it turns out, the domain registration is not only protected by a privacy service but one that uses non-compliant contact information. Just an accident I am sure. The Twitter account page it points to has a letter on it that identifies a problem that the ALAC wants to be involved in policy, coincidentally (but nothing more) similar to a section of the NCSG letter. They are very concerned that if we are more active in policy work, we will overextend ourselves. Their concern is quite touching. Alan At 28/05/2018 04:32 PM, Carlton Samuels wrote:

Well, a correspondent just shared with me an interesting link which led to a bit of content from a yet unidentified shadowy group:
<https://www.atlarge.watch/>https://www.atlarge.watch/
Quite apart from statements that could reasonably be characterised as blood libels, I have excerpted and reproduced here - I was so tempted to use a porn-related metaphor to convey meaning but I cannot now think of an obsequious way in language to mollify the thought police - the gravamen of this tilt.
"Ultimately, we seek to strengthen non-commercial participation in ICANN's agenda-setting and decision-making processes."
I doubt it would surprise anyone familiar with politics 101 ICANN-style to know the WHOIS record is privacy-protected. The domain was registered on the 26th May.
Here's a useful analogy. These virtuous souls, I'm sure men and women all good and true, would not wish to bother you with their identities. Compare that to the situation where the PIIs of every ALAC member is a public record.
Can't get clearer than that.

Dear Cherine and Khaled,
Please find attached a letter to the OEC and the Board in reply to the recent CPH and NCSG letters regarding the At-Large Review.
The letter was developed over the last three days with the involvement and support of the ALAC and its RALO Regional Leaders.
Warm regards, Alan
