Great Idea and I agree with Evan for the point raised.

I would suggest that as a guideline to choosing such a rep, we do not (or at least strongly discourage) appointment of reps from ALSs that are ISOC chapters. There appears a clear conflict of interest here since PIR is the primary source of revenue to ISOC (which in turn provides funding to Chapters). - Evan On 12 January 2017 at 22:58, Judith Hellerstein < judith@jhellerstein.com > wrote: HI Alan, Great Idea Judith _________________________________________________________________________ Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO Hellerstein & Associates 3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008 Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein E-mail: Judith@jhellerstein.com Website: www.jhellerstein.com Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/ Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide On 1/12/2017 10:24 PM, Alan Greenberg wrote: BQ_BEGIN I was approached by Roberto Gaetano (former ALAC Member, former ALAC Liaison to the ICANN Board, former BCEC Chair, former Vice-Chair of the ICANN Board) who is the Chair of the Board of the Public Interest Registry (PIR), the operator of .ORG and now .NGO/.ONG as well Chinese, Hindi and Russian equivalents of .ORG.as several. As you likely know, PIR is a not-for profit organization created by the Internet Society. PIR has a Community Advisory Council for the .NGO/ONG TLD (see http://pir.org/products/ngo-ong-domain/ ) and asked if the ALAC was interested in having a representative on that Council. After having discussed this with a number of At-Large colleagues, I hope no one will object to my agreeing to do this. Following discussion with Roberto on exactly what is required, I will be sending out a call for volunteers. We have been asked to identify a small number of candidates that we believe would do a good job. The PIR Nominating Committee will select one person to serve on the Advisory Council.
