Hi, I disgree that the At-Large has no effect. I think the fact that we have PICs at all is largely due to At-Large. But for things to have community level pressure it takes getting alliances and perseverance. And yeah there is compromise. But at-large when it focuses on a goal and carries through.

On the ground, very little that ALAC does seems to policy-wise have much real consequence. On an issue that (by name!) impacted our community the most in the TLD expansion -- Public Interest Commitments -- we were ignored before it was invented, and rebuffed after we complained that it did not serve its claimed purpose. This was serious enough that we called for a freeze of new gTLD deliveries, which led to a series of high-level discussions that .... burned a lot of volunteer time before being shut down with no change.
Keep pushing for PIC compliance, you will succeed in the end. Use the User Pulpit. avri --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
