Re: Pardon? Icannatlarge.com/org was started one year before the ALAC was conceived. Vittorio, I stand corrected... but I had forgotten your betrayal of the icannatlarge organization in pursuit of the folly that you and your At-Large Organizing Committee (ALOC) foisted upon us... thanks for the reminder. Your efforts to maintain the At-Large as an unrepresented community have not gone unnoticed. --- Vittorio Bertola <vb@bertola.eu> wrote:

They have voted. Over a thousand individuals joined icannatlarge instead of supporting the ALAC initiative.
When the ALAC was created, most icannatlarge members lost interest in it, and many of its key people (including me, who happened to be the Chairman at that time, and Esther Dyson, who had funded its creation) started to participate in the ALAC instead.
Further, within LAC 50 new organizations have been added to the NCUC roster within the last month (a check from the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee for $2500 to cover 50 applications was forwarded to Milton Mueller by Marcelo Fernandes Costa).
Wow. That's free, bottom-up, voluntary participation :) -- vb. Vittorio Bertola - vb [a] bertola.eu <-------- --------> finally with a new website at http://bertola.eu/ <--------
