Alan:
I am not arguing for or against other plans - I am just pointing out that with one minor wording change, the current BGC proposal would allow the participation of users in the GNSO.
I am 100% with you. And I also reply to Wendy:
Thanks. I never meant to suggest a preference for the status quo over the inclusion of all relevant Internet users. I think at-large should ask for the representation it would like to see and deems reasonable from this process (not necessarily their pie-in-the-sky dreams, but not the make-do minimum either).
So I think including all Internet users is better than including only some, and including registrants is better than including none.
I did not mean to imply that ALAC should not ask for the maximum, I only tried to explain my position, which is that, while the inclusion of individual registrants is a must, and therefore not negotiable, about extending the representation to all users I would personally take, in the Board, a more flexible approach, and therefore would consider this particular point as negotiable.
