Before we move on to a formal set of criteria if would be good to get a sense of others' views on the following points:

• should we expect individuals to prove that they are not affiliated with any ICANN or ALS related organisations - if so how would they do this?
• what evidence should the provide to show that they are actually working on end-user activities and are aware of what ICANN is and does
• should we impose timeframed membership for all ALSes as well as individual members - it would make it easier to get rid of the deadwood as Satish suggests?
• should we impose a similar set of metrics for individual members as we do for ALSes?
• What is an optimum sized package for an individual members ALS?
• what process should we expect for them to vote for their representative of their ALS-type organisation?
• should we be encouraging individual membership or encouraging ALSes?
• Should we make it harder to be an individual member so that we can encourage more ALSes (to enable outreach from a common governance or technical starting point?)

I would really appreciate your comments
